    change the text box name

    I don't know how to change the text box name?

    for ex:(my table like this)

    sl. country from to
    1 aaa (txt_c1) 5/4/09 (txt_f1) 5/13/09 (txt_t1) // Now i delete this row.
    2 bbb (txt_c2) 5/18/09 (txt_f2) 5/25/09 (txt_t2)
    3 ccc (txt_c3) 6/2/09 (txt_f3) 6/15/09 (txt_t3) // now i delete this row.
    4 eee (txt_c4) 7/15/09 (txt_f4) 7/25/09 (txt_t4)

    remainder rows, after delete.

    1 bbb (txtc_2) 5/18/09 (txt_f2) 5/25/09 (txt_t2) // here i want to change the text box name automatically (txtc_1, txtf_1, txtt_1) how?
    2 eee (txtc_4) 7/15/09 (txt_f4) 7/25/09 (txt_t4) // here i want to change the text box name automatically (txtc_2, txt_f2, txt_t2) how?

    Code:
    for(var k=i;k<lastRow-1;k++){  
  
 var aRow = document.getElementById('txt_C' + (k+1));  
var FDate = document.getElementById('txt_F' + (k+1));  
var TDate = document.getElementById('txt_T' + (k+1));  
  
    tbl.rows[k].cells[0].innerHTML = (k-1)+1;      // serial no  
    
    alert(aRow+'\t'+FDate+'\t'+TDate); 
  
                // aRow.name = ('txt_C' + k); 
     // FDate.name = ('txt_F' + k); 
     // TDate.name = ('txt_T' + k); 
  
    //    tbl.rows[k].cells[1].childNodes[1]. 
}
    the alert message is "[object HTMLInputElemen t] [object HTMLInputElemen t] [object HTMLInputElemen t] "



    Thanks & Regards,
    Susan.

      Then why did you lie me?

      Code:
      aRow.name = ('txt_C' + k); 
FDate.name = ('txt_F' + k); 
TDate.name = ('txt_T' + k);
      Are not these three lines not working?

              have a look this code....

              Code:
              function test(){
 var text_box_ref = document.getElementById('text_box');
 alert(document.getElementsByName('text_box')[0]); //before changing the name
 text_box_ref.name = 'new_text_box';
 alert(document.getElementsByName('text_box')[0]); //after changing the name
 alert(document.getElementsByName('new_text_box')[0]);
}
              Code:
              <body onload="test()">
<input type=text id="text_box" name="text_box" value="Debasis Jana"/>
</body>
              Test it .... where i am changing the name then trying to access with old name.

                  Are you by any chance having problems with IE? IE does not allow you to set the name (at least not properly). There is a workaround though.

                      Hey i didn't check with IE..just only tested in Mozilla ;)
                      But i think he didn't work with IE, see at his alerts .... "HTMLInputEleme nt" ;)

                          Hi

                          pls check my code is below:

                          Code:
                          for(var k=i;k<lastRow-1;k++){ 

 var aRow = document.getElementById('txtc' + k); 
// var FDate = document.getElementById('txtf' + (k+1)); 
 //var TDate = document.getElementById('txtt' + (k+1)); 

    tbl.rows[k].cells[0].innerHTML = (k-1)+1; 	
	alert(document.getElementByName('txtc' + k)[0]);  
	aRow = "new_Name";
	alert(document.getElementByName('txtc'+k)[0]);  
	alert(document.getElementByName('new_Name')[0]); 
}
                          i got error on this line "alert(document .getElementByNa me('txtc' + k)[0]); "

                          i thought my code is wrong.

                          Thanks & Regards,
                          Susan.

                                      it will not work with IE ... since IE doesn't allow to change the name-attribute at runtime ... do you encounter this problem in IE?

                                          You've set aRow (the object) to a string. What you meant to do was set its name:
                                          Code:
                                          aRow.name = "new_Name";
