Everything works as long as $row['LITERATURE_title'] is one word, see this
variable contains the names of books, and if the books name is "Heaven" for
instance it works fine but as soon as the title is something like "PHP for
Dummies" it doesnt work and i get a error on page message, I tried using
numbers as the form name but then the same thing happens.
Another way you can access these is by using this function.
Stephen is being polite - he means the 'correct' way ;-)
document.getElementByName('name');
or
document.getElementById('id');
As I recall w3 sees ByName as standard but Mozilla(and many others) only
support ById, the last time I checked.
<script language="Javascript">
<!--
the value of a name attribute does not need to be unique, where as the value
of the id attribute _MUST_ be unique (according to the specs) ....
document.getElementsByName('name');
^-----------------------notice the 's'
that method returns an array of elements.
out of interest there is also:
document.getElementsByTagName('INPUT');
which also returns an array.
note that these DOM methods will not work in some older browsers, you
may not care but if you do you will probably want to look into
finding a browser compatibility library (some code) that will patch the
problem for you.

Any ways around this?
