Very simple javascript problem

[Chris Hughes]

I have a function that is passed a id number called templateid. The value is
an identifer of a form element.
To get the value I want I would use the following

form1.template8 .value

In the function I need to get the templateid (which is 8) and get it to
display the value of template8 etc

How do i do this??

function createpage_oncl ick(templateid)
{
// the templateid 8
// needs to get the value of the form element template8

alert( What goes here!!!);
}

Thanks

Something like this?

function createpage_oncl ick( templateid ) {
elementId = "template" + templateid;
oFormElement = document.getEle mentById( elementId );
// Alert the value
alert( oFormElement.va lue );
}


Also, I'm curious as to what context you are calling this function in - eg.
where do you get the 'templateid' from when you call the function?
