Syntax help please

[Ed Jay]

I'm trying to put:

document.form1.proto0[0].checked=true;
document.form1.proto1[0].checked = true;
document.form1.proto2[0].checked = true;
..
..
document.form1.proton[0].checked =true;

into a loop. I've unsuccessfully tried:

for (var i=0;i<n+1;i++) {
document.form1.proto+i+[0].checked=true;
}

and I've been unsuccessful using:

for (var i=0;i<n+1;i++) {
document.forms["form1"].elements["proto"+i+"[0]"].checked=true;
}

Syntax-wise, where am I going astray?

Smart move. :)

This was close!

}

The [0] is not part of the name. The name is "proto2", and there
are apparently more elements in the form with that name.
Try:

var elems = document.form["form1"].elements;
for(var i = 0; i < n; i++) {
elems["proto"+i][0].checked = true;
}

Methinks:

document.forms["form1"].elements["proto"+i][0].checked=true;

They are, indeed. I have several rows of two buttons each that I'm setting
if a preceding condition is met.

Try:

for(var i = 0; i < n; i++) {

Thanks, but it's not working. I continue to receive an error msg:
"Cannot convert undefined or null to Object." (The original multi-line,
non-loop command works fine.)

By way of elaboration, this issue pertains to multiple rows of radio button
pairs that I'm setting pursuant to a previous condition being met, e.g.,.
proto0[0] and proto0[1], etc.

Teach me to cut and paste! :-)

Works.

Now that Gregor Kofler has pointed out the typo, it works great. Thanks,
Lasse.
