ok this is really bugging me:

I'm trying to grab the value(s) of all elements in a form, I did this:

code:
for (i = 0; i < document.frmTorchPackage.elements.length; i++) {
if (document.frmTorchPackage.elements.type = "radio") {
if (document.frmTorchPackage.elements(i).checked == true) {
myVar = document.frmTorchPackage.elements(i).name



I then use the switch statement to grab the value of myVar and execute the necessary statements..... now the problem is

1. myVar returns ' undefined ' but if I do

alert(document.frmTorchPackage.elements(i).name) <- I get a value....

2. that code doens't even work at all in Netscape, I get a weird

document.frmTorchPackage.elements.length is not a function error

3. I know you can do a nested if statements, but is a nested switch statement possible or advisable? I've not been able to find any documentation(s) on this.....

can someone please shed some lights on what I'm doing wrong here, please...

thanx in advance...

It's been a while since I've done stuff like this with forms but I think you should be using [] square brackets instead of () parentheses.

document.frmTorchPackage.elements[i].name

Here's the correct code:

for (i = 0; i < document.frmTorchPackage.elements.length; i++) {
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;if ((document.frmTorchPackage.elements[i].type == "radio") && (document.frmTorchPackage.elements[i].checked == true)) {
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;myVar = document.frmTorchPackage.elements[i].name;
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;alert(myVar);
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;}
}
