JS function is not working in IE

[AMT India]

This JS function is not working in IE 6 and 7..

function ValidateRows( checkbox_id ){    
 
    if( document.pageform.eval(checkbox_id).value){
 
        if ( document.pageform.eval(checkbox_id).checked ){
            return true;
        }
    }
    for ( var i=0; i < document.pageform.eval(checkbox_id).length;i ++ ){
        if ( document.pageform.eval(checkbox_id)[i].checked ){
            return true;
        }
    }
    return false;
}
 

The error is 'Object does not support this property or method'. The error line number is the first line of the function.

"eval" is a member function of "window" object.

You should use like ............

eval("document.pageform.checkbox_id").value
 

instead of ............... "document.pageform.eval(checkbox_id).value"

hi ...

you don't need eval at all here ... simply use the correct reference (array-like in this case):

document.pageform[checkbox_id].value

kind regards

hi ...

simply use the standards-compliant method to retrieve the nodes:

var node = document.getElementById('your_id');
 

and for the value you may then use:

var val = node.value;

kind regards
