how to acess php array var in Js?

If I have a series of checkboxes like this: <input type=checkbox name="cb[]" value="1"> This is 1 <input type=checkbox name="cb[]" value="2"> This is 2 <input type=checkbox name="cb[]" value="3"> This is 3 <input type=checkbox name="cb[]" value="4"> This is 4 how can I acess "cb[]" in Javascript other than using the "elements" array?? I can't do cb[][0].checked for example... it gives me parse error... using the elements array is not that nice codewise... any hints? _____________________________ . Christian Dechery . .
