Coding De-bacle ! damn javascript..

[kimberlc]

alright, so here's the problem.. I have a select box named

name="selectboxname[]" ... now, I have java script functions that can't reference this name because of the brackets [] which cause a syntax error. So, how can I find a workaround for this statement ??
var to=document.form_name.selectboxname[]; I have no choice but to name the select box with the brackets, otherwise php doesn't see it as an array . Can I get this value some other sneaky way ? I've tried document.forms[0].elements[num].value but it doesn't see my form.

Any suggestions ?? thanx for you help !

Try
variable = documents.forms[0].elements['selectboxname[]']

You can also refer to the form by name instead of number, if the form has a name.

But I remember that select boxes (especially multiple select boxes) don't have a value, but an array of selected indexes. But don't quote me on that, because I haven't looked at a Javascript reference recently.
