Thread: How to identify duplicate form elements with same name in a funcation????

Hi guys,

I have multiple price and quantity fields and their total ( price * quantity) in a loop with same form name and I want to calculate the total in each row with onChange event.


Since they have same name how do I identify the exact fields. Please see example and give me a hint on how I can grab the exact changed field to calculate the corresponding total.


The grand total field is outside the loop and would be the sum of all totals

%
for (i=0; i<5; i++)
{
%>



<% } %>


Pls guide me to correct this.

Thanks,
Riju.

Hi,

When you name/id two or more HTML elements with the same name/identifier, the corresponding JavaScript objects are put into an array of that name, so they can be handled as a group. Why use the same names? Only a few types of elements are designed to be used in groups (radio buttons, e.g.). Identifiers should be unique.
