how do i use variables inside a statement that calls a function?

[ripple]

hi, i havent been able to search for this quesiton effectively so i'll ask it here.

how can i use variables inside statements that are calling a function?

for example, say i want to loop through the numbers 1 to 10, and apply the number to the following line where the ## symbols are:

window.document.form.text##.value = "help"

is there a way to do that? i am working around it using a whole bunch of if statements for now.

This should do it, but the names will be text1, text2, etc. instead of text01, text02, etc.

for ( var i=1; i <= 10; i++ ) {
  eval(&quot;window.document.form.text&quot; + i + &quot;.value&quot;) = &quot;help&quot;;
}

window["row"+ii+"col"+jj]=blahblah regards, vic
