Dynamic form validation with Javascript? 16

[gbaughma]

Here's the situation.

I have form web page that is dynamically built from ASP. In other words, the record number is included with the name of the form field, so I could have frm23depart and frm27depart, for example.

I want to do some validation on those fields, but what I need is something like:

function compare(fieldno){
var1=document.form1.frm<fieldno>depart.value;
....

See the issue? I need the javascript to be dynamically passed which FIELD it needs to use for it's calculations

I'm using onchange="compare(<%=fieldno%>)" ... to pass the field number to the javascript.

Any thoughts on this? It's holding up a project that I'm working on.....

I don't really want to dynamically generate multiple functions just for this (although that would be an option).

I think it was LFI that gave me the second one. And I deserve it.

Hey Chrissie, since when did you get your other star ??

Wasn't me! Chrissie must've actually contributed to the original post! At this point, I think such an offense should lead to star-removal!

Well, the project is complete.

Who cares anymore? We've hijacked your thread, man. Send $20,000 in unmarked bills and no one gets hurt.

Though I'm telling you, Chrissie has an alter-ego he's used to give himself a star... with meny more stars to come... ;-)

p.s. (Dave,.. shhhhhh.. don't talk about star-removal, don't forget how we got ours.... ahem. )

A smile is worth a thousand kind words. So smile, it's easy!

Well done! Now if you could just convince the other 20-or-so Tek-Tippers who have the same sig-line...

And here I thought I was being so original... :S

Well, *I HAD IT FIRST!!!!* <LOL>

You know, I think I've had more fun in this thread than any others. Oh, will you take a cheque?

Absolutely! From anyone I trust.

So... No.

Cash only please.
