i'm told document.almostdone.names has no properties?

[Markus]

I'm writing something that loops through a form to check if any fields are empty. I got to this:

function checkEmptyFields()
{
    names = new Array("first_name", "last_name", "country", "city", "dob_d");
    for (i = 0; i < names.length; i++)
    {
        el = document.almostdone.names[i].value;
        if(el.empty())
        {
            alert(el + " was empty");
        }
    }
}
 

But i keep being told

document.almostdone.names has no properties
http://localhost/blog.mahcuz.com/signup/almostdone/js/validateSignUp.js
Line 6
 
line 6: el = document.almostdone.names[0].value;

almostdone is the name of the form.

Not quite sure ¬_¬

The form doesn't have a names array. What you need to use is the elements array, e.g. document.forms["almostdone"].elements[names[i]].value.
