More of a JS question then PHP...

[Anon]

Hi I have this problem:

I have 3:

<input type="textfield" name="field">

They will be known to the browser as:

field[0] & field[1] & field[2]

I've made an onClick function that look like this:

<input type="textfield" name="field" onClick="myFunction(x)">

The problem here is the x. If this textfield had the name field[2] I want x to be 2...

I guess the function would be something like:

myFunction(this.arraynumber)

I know it's not arraynumber but it should look something close to that... I've searched the entire web but I can't find a solution so I had to post it here though this has nothing to do with PHP... please help!

could it possibly be just this
why do you need to get the number of the array if you only have 3 of them. Cant you just put a number in yourself?

Well the problem is that sometimes they are 1 sometimes 2 and sometimes 3 depending on the output from the PHP...

I know abit more now though... it should perhaps look something like:

this.name.something

because this.name returns field so I need some sort of property to get the number in the field-array...

"sometimes 2 and sometimes 3 depending on the output from the PHP"
-> you produce the inputs in a loop?

so, why don't you just insert the loop index (use a for loop for example)

for($i=0; $i<count($items); $i++)
{
echo "<input ... onChange=myfunction($i)>";
}
