[Javascript] Re: log file

[Roger Roelofs]

I had a similar problem, If you name each element in your form 
appropriately, you can use javascript's associative array to store 
values.

startvals = new Array();   //data from db
startvals['FirstName'] = "John";
....
for ( i=0; i<form.elements.length; i++ ) {  //checking code
     if ( startvals[form.elements[i].name] != form.elements[i].value ) {
....

obviously it is a bit more complex than that because you have to deal 
with different types of elements, but I bet you get the idea.
