how can I get the position in the array of getElementsByName

[rubenhan]

Hi,

I have multiple text input fields with the same name "name[]" and "age[]" which will return an array of information when I get document.getEle mentByName("nam e[]") (should I use getElementsByNa me("name[]") instead?)

For example,

name[] age[]
name[] age[]
name[] age[]

What I want to pull off is, when "name[]" goes onblur, a new set of empty fields will be added.
Then, when "age[]" goes onblur, I want to add two more text fields like above but with the value of the previous name[] copied to the value of the new name[]. Here is an example.

(john)name[] (14)age[]
(john)name[] ()age[]

In order to pull this off, I thought I have to somehow catch which position of the getElementByNam e("name[]") array it is and get that value and pass it to the onblur function in "age[]". How do I get that position? I'm assuming it's not item(). Is there a method that I could use?

Thank you.

you have to use getElementsByName() since getElementByNam e() doesn't exist.

@Dormilich,

Thank you. I'll use getElementsByNa me.

Is there a method to find a current position of that array? In other words, is there a way to catch getElementsByNa me.item()?

Should I just do

var j;
var position = document.getElementsByName[j];

you access the elements from getElementsByna me() like your example. the name[] syntax is used to pass arrays to the server side form processing script (as far as I've understood this)
