Dynamic Arrays 1

MikeyK · Aug 8, 2001

Just wondering if anyone knows if there is a way to make a dynamic array from checkbox id's

for example, 4 check boxes on a page with id's from cbo3706 to cb03709, requires the array:

var a = ("cbo3706","cbo3707","cbo3708","cbo3709&quot

but what if there are 5 checkboxes on the page
- the array needs to be:

var a = ("cbo3706","cbo3707","cbo3708","cbo3709","cbo3710&quot

Is there any way I can get the amount of text boxes onLoad of the page, and build the array dynamically ?

any suggestions would be appreciated.

Hello,
I'm guessing some things, but see the code below:
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE> Checkbox </TITLE>
<script>
function buildarray(frm) {
//alert(frm.elements.length);
//alert(frm.elements[0].type);
arr = new Array;
for (elm=0; elm<frm.elements.length; elm ++) {
if (frm.elements[elm].type == "checkbox&quot

arr[elm] = frm.elements[elm].id;
alert(arr[elm]);
}
}
</script>
</HEAD>

<BODY onLoad="buildarray(document.myForm)">
<form name="myForm">
<input type="checkbox" id="cbo3706" name="cbo3706">cbo3706<br>
<input type="checkbox" id="cbo3707" name="cbo3707">cbo3707<br>
<input type="checkbox" id="cbo3708" name="cbo3708">cbo3708<br>
<input type="checkbox" id="cbo3709" name="cbo3709">cbo3709<br>

</form>
</BODY>
</HTML>
