expected Identifier error. Can you help.

[sthmpsn1]

I am getting an expected identifier with my script and was wondering if someone could tell me what is wrong with it?

function checkit()
{
tf='15' //number of text fields (tf)
num='0' //set your counter value to zero

for (k=1;k<=tf;k++) { //start reading the text boxes

x=eval(&quot;document.form1.date&quot;+k+&quot;.value&quot //give x the value of a text box, based on the value of k

if (x!='') {num++;} //if it is not empty, add 1
}
for(var i=1;i<num;i++) {
var theDate = document.form1.[&quot;hour&quot; + i].value;
var dateArr = theDate.split(&quot;/&quot

checkstr = document.form1.hidden1.value;
if (checkstr != dateArr[0])
{
alert ('your months do not match');
return false;
}
}
}

You have to refer to an element with [&quot;hour&quot; + i]

var theDate = document.form1.[&quot;hour&quot; + i].value;

should be

var theDate = document.form1.elements[&quot;hour&quot; + i].value;

try this line:

var theDate = eval(&quot;document.form1.[hour&quot;+i+&quot;].value&quot;;

tell me what happens, or post the code in its entirety so it can be tested...

var theDate = eval(&quot;document.form1.[hour&quot;+i+&quot;].value&quot;

Okay I had one thing screwed up. It should have been date not hour. I have no errors but the script is still not working. Basically if someone selects a month from my dropdown menu the first 2 numbers of the text box must match that value. Here is the complete page.
