Thanks Bob, this worked. I don't quite understand why it works, though. My
logic would be:
form.["thing_"+number+"_deluxe"].value = "joey";
with a dot (.) after form, but I tried that and it didn't work. I guess
javascript replaces the first [ with a dot? If so, why doesn't it replace
the 2nd one? I tried:
form["thing_"+number+"_deluxe"]value = "joey";
with no dot after the ], but it generates an error. Hmm.
An addition to this code, to make it work in stinkin NS4 with it's crappy
javascript implementation (compared to IE, from my experience so far), is to
add document. before form:
document.form["thing_"+number+"_deluxe"]value = "joey";
I tried your "cute trick" (below) and isn't that snazzy! Sure would be nice
to be able to write text to a particular spot on the page, other than into a
text box, on ALL browsers. I can't wait until browsers start entering the
20th century and we can start developing better interfaces! ;-)

"As is often the case".
