Variables and DOM

[zwarte]

Hello Again,

Is it possible to pass a variable to an object model reference? In example:

var j = new Date();
var s = j.getDate();

For instance today is July 5th.
The variable s will return the number 5.

I want to be able to take that number and plug it into something like

document.all."var if possible".cols

Is this possible?

Do you want the result to be document.all.5.cols only if the number 5 exists? I don't understand that. There will always be a number if it is a day on the calendar. If that's what you want, try document.all.s.cols or else document.all.s.value.cols I can't remember how that works right now and I have to go right away, so good luck!

Rick If I have helped you just click the first link below to let me know

zwarte,

perhaps you're asking this?

var j = new Date(); 
var s = j.getDate();

if (eval("document.all.o" + s))
  eval("document.all.o" + s + ".cols...rest of your code here...)

this will execute your code if the element/id exists...

also, remember that ids and variable names cannot start with numbers: I've called your ids above "o" + s for this reason.
