Indexed bean property names and Javascript

[Laine Donlan <ld...@elogex.com>]

I was wondering if anyone has had experience using javascript with form
elements containing nested properties.  Basically I am trying to avoid
looping through the forms elements and matching names to find the
element I want.  However I am having a problem with javascript not
liking form elements names with "."'s in them.

i.e. 
A form generated by the text tag like the following: 
	<input type="text" name="someBean.someProperty">

cannot be accessed by javascript using the
form.someBean.someProperty.value.  

Has anyone had success doing anything like this, or am I missing
something all together?  Thanks in advance.

One thing to try in your code is to reference the element as:

	form['someBean.somProperty'].value
