[Javascript] Form name?

[Peter Brunone]

Anthony,

    You mean JavaScript, right?  :-)

    In order to build object names from strings, you need to use the eval()
function.  For example:

var myCategory = eval('document.mainform' + frm + '.Category');

    Make sure, of course, that the the Category field exists with that
particular casing, and you should be fine.

Cheers,

Peter
