You can acces them using array notation and the elements array

document.formname.elements["to[0]"].value

etc. There will probably be some trial and error involved.

Subject: Filling form fields using javascript


> Hi,
>
> I have the following code, which is supposed to take some values from a
PHP
> script and fill the corresponding form fields with data from an address
book
> ( the addresses are selected in a popup window, and the code below is to
> populate the fields in the main window).
>
> The problem is that the form fields are named to[0], to_email[0]; to[1],
> to_email[1] and so on, and the [ and ] are causing the javascript to
produce
> errors.
>
> How can I get around this problem?  I cannnot change the form field names,
so
> have to find some other way of correcting it.
>
> Thanks,
> Peter.
