Re: check box

[Arron Bates <ar...@keyboardmonkey.com>]

Sanjay,

It should work for any Html input element. As long as you know the 
resulting input name, you can get at it.
...fun part, is that you can do string concats too if you want to be 
more dynamic...

Indexed example:
document.forms[0]["something["+ i + "].somethingElse"]

Arron.
