Name an object

[Paul]

How do I create and refer to an object as the following isn't recognised,
where as if I replace myfield with LinkLocation4536, it recognises the field
in form List
function confirmDelete(wid)
{

var myfield="LinkLocation" + wid

alert(document.forms["List"].myfield.value);

}

Hi,

document.forms["List"].myfield.value will just fetch the value of a
formelement named myfield. Which is not what you want.

Does the following code work?

function confirmDelete(wid)
{
alert ("wid="+wid);
var myfield="LinkLocation" + wid
alert(document.forms["List"][myfield].value);
}

Hi

No that comes up with an expected identifier error but...............

alert (eval ("document.forms['List'].LiveLinkLocation" + wid + ".value") );

does

Thanks that's the syntax I was looking for.
