[Javascript] Text Field Arrays

[Jay Lepore]

I tried this Jeff,

window.document.configurator.elements[elementNum].value=changeto;

But it doesn't work. In this short example I showed you 6 text fields but
there are many more fields in this form which have the potential to be
changed over time. Thanks for the suggestion in any case.

>> <form name='configurator'>
>>   <input type='text' name='files_description[0]' size='18' maxlength='30'
>> onBlur='return nochanging(this, 0)'>";
>>   <input type='text' name='files_description[1]' size='18' maxlength='30'
>> onBlur='return nochanging(this, 1)'>";
>>   <input type='text' name='files_description[2]' size='18' maxlength='30'
>> onBlur='return nochanging(this, 2)'>";
>>   <input type='text' name='files_description[3]' size='18' maxlength='30'
>> onBlur='return nochanging(this, 3)'>";
>>   <input type='text' name='files_description[4]' size='18' maxlength='30'
>> onBlur='return nochanging(this, 4)'>";
>>   <input type='text' name='files_description[5]' size='18' maxlength='30'
>> onBlur='return nochanging(this, 5)'>";
>> </form>
>>

>>       {
>>       case '1':   changeto="Home Top Left"; break
>>       case '2':   changeto="Home Top Right"; break
>>       case '3':   changeto="Property List Top Left"; break
>>       case '4':   changeto="Property List Top Right"; break
>>       case '5':   changeto="Sale Sheet Top Left"; break
>>       case '6':   changeto="Sale Sheet Top Right"; break
>>       }
>>
>>
>window.document.configurator.files_description[elementNum].value=changeto;
>> }
>> </script>
