Hey all,
I'm pretty new to Javascript, so forgive me if this is a simple question.
I'm trying to access the length of a set of checkboxes in a form using Javascript. However, I need to be able to change the "name" field of the checkboxes to check several different sets of them. Right now, my sample code looks like:
var set = "set" + x;
totalLength = optionBoxes.set.length;
The variable x
is being incremented by a for
loop that wraps the whole thing and the name of the checkbox sets that I'm trying to access are set0, set1, set2, etc.
Thanks.
