Help with form question names!

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Nov 15.2007

Hi i am new to Java Script so please forgive any ignorance. I use a contact form which is provided and hosted by a third party. The problem i have is for each field they have the name q[#] where the # is the question number, because of this i cant get any auto fill formula to work i.e. onClick=”this.value=this.form.q[8].value;” the error i get is in IE where it says “Error: ‘this.form.q.8’ is null or not an object”.

Could somebody please take the time to explain why this happens and whether there is a possible workaround.

Thanks in advance,

Tom ?
