Just FYI, the duplicate names can cause issues too, but in IE. In IE, getElementById really means getElementByIdOrName...so if you have (for example) a label with a name "username" and a textbox with an id "username", whichever one comes first in the DOM will be picked up by IE.

They have the same Name though. Strange.

That is technically impossible, although Firefox tends to not complain about it (I think it just grabs the first match). IE just dies because it doesn't know what to do. At least, that's what I seem to remember. 2 elements are not allowed to have the same id. Same name is fine, but be advised, most server software will pack all of the values into an array, so you might be expecting a string and get an array instead.

I thought JavaScript watched the ID not the name. As you can see, I've got a hidden input before the checkbox. That is on purpose. Since IE doesn't send unchecked checkboxes, I had to place a hidden before the actual checkboxes to clear the values in the SQL or unchecking the box wouldn't have any effect. This works in Firefox and until now, it worked in Internet Explorer. Is there any other way I can specify the checkbox input only?

Here's the actual code that I need to work: <INPUT TYPE="HIDDEN" NAME="assess_int9" VALUE=""> <INPUT TYPE="CHECKBOX" NAME="assess_int9" VALUE=":" CHECKED="CHECKED" CLASS="radiocheck" ID="assess_int9"> : <INPUT TYPE="TEXT" NAME="assess_int9_s0" CLASS="" STYLE="" ID="assess_int9" VALUE="sfsadfsdf"> <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JAVASCRIPT" TYPE="TEXT/JAVASCRIPT"> Event.observe('assess_int9', 'click', function() { ClearTextIfNotChecked('assess_int9', 'assess_int9_s0') = ''; }); </SCRIPT> However, I did this as a test and it doesn't work either and no error: <INPUT TYPE="HIDDEN" NAME="assess_int9" VALUE=""> <INPUT TYPE="CHECKBOX" NAME="assess_int9" VALUE=":" CHECKED="CHECKED" CLASS="radiocheck" ID="assess_int9"> : <INPUT TYPE="TEXT" NAME="assess_int9_s0" CLASS="" STYLE="" ID="assess_int9" VALUE="sfsadfsdf"> <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JAVASCRIPT" TYPE="TEXT/JAVASCRIPT"> Event.observe('assess_int9', 'click', function() { alert('test'); } ); </SCRIPT> _____________________ Thanks, Keith Davis - MCSA, A+, N+ P.R.I.D.E. - Director of Computer Services www.pridedallas.com Work (214) 351-6600 ext. 119 Mobile (214) 906-5183 _______________________________________________ Rails-spinoffs mailing list Rails-spinoffs@lists.rubyonrails.org http://lists.rubyonrails.org/mailman/listinfo/rails-spinoffs
