Extracting the 3 most right character of an Element ID

[Mayoor]

I would like to loop through the form elements and test to see where the 3rd character of the ID name is a "3".

if TheElem.id.CharAt(2) == 3

Can I simply just do this?

Not quite... although you're almost there. charAt has a lowercase "C" at the beginning... remember that JS is case-sensitive.

Also, you're missing brackets around your "if" test. Try this:

if (TheElem[i].id.charAt(2) == '3') {
   // do something here
}

This, of course, assumes that "TheElem" is a valid form element.

Hope this helps,

Don't see why that wouldn't work.
