Hi !

Try to print out element.value before you using 
document.TechEmail.[element.value].value;
and second I think you have extra dot.
try this :
document.TechEmail[element.value].value;
since TechEmail is a collection .

If you need to use dot you should use then this 
eval('document.TechEmail.' + element.value + '.value');

Hope this will help.

Oleg.

convention


I have the value of a checkbox the same name as the name of a hidden 
field. I want to make the hidden field's value appear in a textfield 
dynamically each time the checkbox is clicked and erased when it is 
unchecked.

I cannot seem to get the name of the checkbox that is clicked turned over 
the the name of the hidden field.

Can anyone help please?

Thanks,
John Espinosa

<Script Language="Javascript">
function getInfo(element){
	 if(element.checked){
			document.TechEmail.Email.value += 
document.TechEmail.[element.value].value;      //if I can work this out 
then I will be able to erase it as well....
	 }else if(!element.checked){
 	 	document.TechEmail.Email.value = 
document.TechEmail.Email.value.replace(element.value,"")
	 }
	
}		

</Script>
