Use a name of object in String to access that Object

[kb244]

I have an array , the 3rd item is the name of an object on a page for example like "3_2|Check" how do I access that checkbox by a name I have in a string, so that I Can enable/disable it. This kind of thing has always fustrated me, no matter what language it is in, the reason its in a string to start with is because I created the JS array through ASP.

Hi,
If the array is in JavaScript then you can use it's eval function (which, as you quite rightly pointed out, is sadly missed in most other languages.)
example:

<SCRIPT Language = "JavaScript">

var StrString = "Checkbox1";
var MyObject = eval("document.all.form." + StrString);

MyObject.checked = true;

</SCRIPT>

Hope this helps
