finding position of an input box

[YYYYUU]

function getCoordinates(inputBoxName) {

var newX=findPosX(form1.txtEffectiveDate)
var newY=findPosY(inputBoxName)

}

function findPosX(obj)
{ ...... }

If I type in form1.txtEffectiveDate then it accepts it as an object. If I get this as a parameter "inputBoxName" it doesn't treat it as an object. What can I do to make the inputBoxName be read as an object.

many thanks for your help.

Use:

document.forms['formName'][inputBoxName];

Hope this helps,
