because i need to evaluate each one and i need to send other post data that does not need evaluating .. the other post data is not allways static so i cant put if/else clauses on my serverside code to accomidate it ... what i need is the data from the each loop send as 1 post parameter and my other data sent as other parameters..
I've been looking at toJSON() on the array created with the method supplied to me earlier .. Also the code you quote me on was psuedo code just to try to give an idea of what i am trying to achieve - i know it was unworking !!!!! Thanks Alex ----- Original Message ----- From: "T.J.

If all you want is key/value pairs, just sending POST data seems much more straight-forward. Separately, on the code: > $$('.formJson').each(function(e) { > var p=$(e).dbCol + $(e).value; > var d=p.toJSON(); > params.push(d);} $$ returns extended elements[1], so no need to extend them again (much less repeatedly). Also, when creating 'p', you're not putting any kind of delimiter between the dbCol property and the value, so you'll get a string like "surnameDoe". Also, you're expecting to be able to access an attribute of an element ('dbCol') as thought it were a property of the Element object; you can't. You can get it via Prototype's readAttribute method[2], though. [1] http://www.prototypejs.org/api/utility/dollar-dollar [2] http://www.prototypejs.org/api/element/readAttribute -- T.J.
