Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:

Hi,

My script is populating a few text boxes with the same data. At the moment i can only get it to do the first text box without writing the same code again and again.

see cod below

[CODE]
function fgreet (){
var great = “great”;

document.form.T2.value=great;

}[/CODE]

What i would like to do is something which would increase number after the T by 1 each time its loop through. Don’t know where to start though!

Please help

@FromU2MEDec 14.2005 — Try adding an id of the text fields ie. [B]id="T2"[/B] and so on. Then loop through the fields:

[CODE]<script language="JavaScript">

function fgreet (){
var great = "great";

for (i=0; i<totalFields; i++) { // Change 'totalFields' to the # of text fields

var Ti = eval("T" + i);
document.getElementById(Ti).value = great;

}

}
</script>[/CODE]

Success!
