Create a variable containing the current number and update whenever a new element is created.

Merged threads. As far as I can gather, this is the same problem with the same user. Please do not double post.

Hello,

I 'm also in a similar situation where i need to set the input type values dynamically. In the HTML code of the web form in VB.NET, i have the following:

[HTML]<input type="hidden" name="item_name_1" value="Datastructures in C++">
<input type="hidden" name="item_description_1" value="Introduction to C++">
<input type="hidden" name="item_quantity_1" value="1"> <input type="hidden" name="item_price_1" value="31.99">
<input name="item_currency_1" type="hidden" value="USD" /> <input name="_charset_" type="hidden" value="utf-8" />
[/HTML]
Now is there a way, i can change the value for the above input types dynamically?

I wil highly appreciate your help.

Use the syntax:

document.forms[formName].elements[elementName].value = whatever;

You can dynamically create elements using javascript. The below link will be helpful in doing so indeed.

This is java script code but i want to be able to modify it from the vb code. Is that possible?

That's server-side, so just change it to display different elements/values.

[zeeshanks]

Do i save it to a .js file and then call it from Page_Load? Sorry for these questions as i haven't used javascript in VB.NET

I got confused from your previous reply where you said you wanted this in VB. I thought that meant using VB.NET code. To include the JavaScript, see this article which includes a section on adding the client-side script to your .NET application.

Yes i want this in VB. NET.
Thanks for the link. The items 'ClientScript' AND 'StringBuilder' are being underlined blue (ClientScript is not declared and stringBuilder is not defined)

Which class do i need to import to fix this?

I think this has left the realms of JavaScript and moved onto .NET. Ask in the .NET forum and hopefully an expert should get back to you.
