RE: [PHP] associative arrays in html forms and javascript

This is because you currently only have one field on your form named arraystuff. The browser only creates an array of elements if there is more than one of them. arraystuff.focus(), would work at present. -Stewart -----Original Message----- From: Daniel James [mailto:twigman@netbreeze.com.au] Sent: 08 August 2001 12:56 To: php-general@lists.php.net Subject: [PHP] associative arrays in html forms and javascript Hi everyone :) imagine this if you will.. <html> <body onload="document.formname.inputfield.focus()"> <form name="formname"> <input type="text" name="inputfield"> </form> </body> </html> ugly form with a text input field that is focussed when the form loads, erm.. nice. now, I like to put all my form stuff into associative arrays, makes things a lot nicer when I am doing things later... but this... means something completely different to javascript: <html> <body onload="document.formname.arraystuff[inputfield].focus()"> <form name="formname"> <input type="text" name="arraystuff[inputfield]"> </form> </body> </html> and like that the text field won't focus and the parser tells me that arraystuff has no properties and that inputfield is undefined. I've tried all sorts of stuff, at the moment when I do a form I choose between javascript and associative arrays, depending on what I need... but I *want* both >;-) anyone have any ideas? I keep getting errors myself.
