Using Javascript to Validate Dynamically created HTML Forms

[PunkRockNeil]

The code below creates a form based on the users assigned to a course, therefore it is dynamic and to make each name for the Text Box that contains there score I have to append the user's id. How do I maneuver through the text boxes with JS if I don't know the names o fhte elements???

	if isarray(arrStudents) then
		fltScore = ""
		
		for i = 0 to ubound(arrStudents,2)
			IF Application("RDBMS") = "ORACLE" THEN
				rs.Open "SELECT student_score/possible_score*100 FROM assessment_report WHERE student_id = " & arrStudents(0,i) & " AND container_id = " & request("session") & " AND testinstance = 1"
			ELSE
				rs.Open "SELECT CAST(student_score AS DECIMAL) / CAST(possible_score AS DECIMAL) *100 FROM assessment_report WHERE student_id = " & arrStudents(0,i) & " AND container_id = " & request("session") & " AND testinstance = 1"
			END IF
			
			if rs.EOF then
				fltScore = 0
			else
				fltScore = rs(0)
			end if
			
			rs.close
			
			Response.Write "<tr><td>" & arrStudents(1,i) & " " & arrStudents(2,i) & "</td>"
%>
				<td><input name="txtScore<%=arrStudents(0,i)%>" value="<%=fltScore%>" size="4" onchange="javascript:if (isNaN(parseFloat(this.value))==true){alert('<%=strNOTANUMBER%>');this.value='';this.focus();}"></td><td></td></tr>
<%
		next
	else
		Response.Write "<td colspan=2>" & strNOSTUDENTS & "</td></tr>"
	end if

how about that!

<script language="JavaScript">
function cycle() {
    var answer = '';
    for (var i = 0; i<document.formName.elements.length; i++) {
        if ((document.formName.elements[i].name.indexOf('Text') > -1)) {
           	if(document.formName.elements[i].value.length<0){
			alert('Your missing some info');
			document.formName.elements[i].select();
			document.formName.elements[i].focus(); 
			break();          	
           	}
        }
    }
}

</script>

'Course, you could always do something like... oh... I don't know...

DYNAMICLY CREATE THE JAVASCRIPT, TOO!
