@ananiasJul 13.2006 — getElementById does but I don't think getElementBy is a function in any browser.

@CrazyMerlinJul 13.2006 — getElementById and getElementsByName and getElementsByTagName all work in ff

if for somereason it isn't working (there is a situation in which it won't), use document.[elementname] where [elementname] is the name assigned to the element

but the correct DOM call is getElement(s)By....

@felgallJul 14.2006 — Those three methods work in ALL modern browsers that support Javascript. The latest browsers NOT to support them are IE4 and Netscape 4.

@konithomimoJul 14.2006 — Change this:

document.forms['calc'].elements[myArray[x][0]]

to this:

document.forms['calc'].myArray[x][0]

if you have posted the link there, how does it come that you can not post it here? :rolleyes:

Show us the link or the code. Here. Don't make us fumble through other forums.

Are you sure this a valid ideea? If [I]myArray[/I] is a variable, the first line (the genuine) is good. If [I]myArray[/I] is a name, both are wrong.

Success!
