You should have posted this to a javascript board, it has nothing to
do with PHP. That said, if the form field name contains special
characters, like [], you can reference it like this:
document.formname.elements['checkbox1[]'].
Use the elements[] reference style.

Hi all,
I'm hoping someone can help me with this problem.
I'm using javascript for some client side field validation in a form
(method=post) that gets managed via php.
This particular form makes extensive use of checkboxes. I've
always like
how when named properly (field name of "checkbox1[ ]"), php will
pass that
variable as an array that contains all the values selected in the
form.
Very handy. BUT,
How do you then reference that variable via javascript to do any
client-side
validation? The code I use makes reference to the field's id, and
it still
doesn't seem to check things properly.
Is there any way around this, or what am I missing?
TIA,
Kelly
