Help: Document object's property

How do I use a variable value within the document object's property?

That is, if I have:

document.profil e_form.firstnam e.value=fname;

How do I make it more generic, like this:

desired=fieldna me
document.profil e_form.desired. value=fname;

Where firstname is the current field name.

If you had the name of a field and wanted dynamic addressing...

desired = "firstname" ;
document.forms["formname"].elements[desired].value = somevalue;

Hi, I've seen javascript code where a constructor function is passed an argument "document", and inside the function itself the assignment "this.document = document;" is made. This is the code (or the part necessary for the example): function ToggleButton(document) { ToggleButton.images = new Array(4); for(i=0;i<4;i++) { ToggleButton.images = new

How do you get the height of the client browser in IE? Both document.body.clientHeight and document.body.offsetHeight return the height of the document. If the page is long and there's a vertical scrollbar, you get the height of the entire document, screwing up any chance of centering a window in the browser using these values. Is there a way to get the height of the actual browser window and not the entire page height? Thanks.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
