URGENT - properties in netscape

[javelin]

Anyone know the syntax cheapscape uses to address items in a form?

ex. In IE I can write:
...
var ch = document.forms[0].elements;
var l = document.forms[0].length;
var ls_type = type + "";
var lb_checked=false;


if (ch!=null) {
for (var i=0; i<ch.length; i++) {
if( (ch.item(i).tagName == "INPUT") && (ch.item(i).id.indexOf(ls_type) != -1) ){
if(ch.item(i).checked)
lb_checked =true;
}
}// end for
}// end if

and get each elements values with no prob. Netscape doesn't recognize any of this - it tells me that forms have no properties.

So how do get the values of dynamically generated INPUTs in a form in cheapscape?

Thanx :)

Can you post the URL of the page conatining the form? Thanks

You'll need to follow NS DOM for accessing form elements....
this supposes that the element is in the 1st form in your document: (counting starts at 0)

document.forms[0].elementname.value

and if its in a layer (or DIV) then it becomes a bit more complicated:

document.layername.document.forms[0].elementname.value

and if its a select element (<select>) and you want to obtain a value, or text, or indexvalue or something of that nature of the selected item then its even more convuluted:

document.formname.selectname.options[document.formname.selectname.selectedIndex].text

and if that select element is a form thats in a layer then

document.layername.document.formname.selectname.options[document.formname.selectname.selectedIndex].text

you CAN replace forms[0] with formname and vice versa as shown in the last example

I know this didnt answer you exactly - but hopefully it did help you out some. I'll see if I can find my code for iterating thru form elements later when I'm not so busy.

Thanks.

I got it with this code:
function gf_Check_RB(ps_NomRb) // iterate and check radio btns
{
var ch = document.forms[0].elements;
var li_Len = ch.length;
var lb_checked=false;

for (var i=0; i<li_Len; i++) {
if(ch[i].name.indexOf(ps_NomRb)!=-1){
if(ch[i].checked){
lb_checked=true;
break;
}
}
}

return lb_checked;
}

NS doesn't support the item property or the id property so you have to use name
