Here's a snippet of code from Goodman's Javascript Bible, which, while not
exactly the same as what you're trying to do, does make use of a variable
form name. (Rather, it's part of a routine to calculate the total price of a
list of items in a catalog/online store.) It may give you something to work
with...
First, code to automatically generate an array of text inputs named
"Qty1", "Qty2", etc:
for (var i = 0; i <= 10; i++) {
...
document.write(�<INPUT TYPE=�text� NAME=�Qty� + i + ��>�)
...
...then to actually address the various text inputs:
for (var i = 0; i < Qty.length; i++) {
var rowSum = form[�Qty� + i].value * form[�Price� + i].value
form[�Total� + i].value = formatNum(rowSum,2)
In these examples, 'i' is just a variable like any other, even if in this case it
being used for incremental counting. The general syntax should apply in
other cases though, AFAIK.
