Hi, I've created my self a problem.

In ASP using VBscript i have one form that displays 5 input boxes per row.
So the page could have 5 boxes on it or it could have 105 or any number divisible by 5

so how do i read in the 5 or what ever textboxes?

i figure i to do it in a loop.

so i have read in my counter this tells me the number of boxes i have to loop through)

so this i what i was thinking

for( i=1;i<=counter;i++)
{
var textbox = Form1.txtbox+i.value
}
this doesnt work. so does any one know of a way to do what i'm after.
thanks

from VbScript setting a variable in the javascript code how many boxes there are would be one way

var box_count = <%=Number_of_boxes%>

other than that seeing some code for the text boxes and a better explanation of what you are trying to do would be helpful

Thanks chrishirist

I think i figured it out using form.elements
this is what i've come up with

function checkform(form,btn)
{
pass = true
for(x=0; x<document.Form1.elements.length; x++)
{
if(document.Form1.elements[x].type == "text")
{

if (!IsNumeric(document.Form1.elements[x].value))
{
NumericErr ="Please enter numeric values only\r"
pass = false
}

//alert(document.Form1.elements[x].name)
//alert(document.Form1.elements[x].value)
}
}

This loops through all form elements be it buttons, or any type of input box.
Ignores any that are not type =text. then checks to see if the value for that box is numeric if it is then, at the end it will display a message and stop the the form beging submitted

Again, im not sure if this is the best method cause i'm basically learning javascript as i go. i.e figure out waht i need to do, then figure out how to do it.
