create a variable dynamically in JavaScript

crmpicco · October 4th, 2005, 05:03 AM

Code:

var arrival"+s+" = document.forms["form"].elements["arrival"+s].value;

Is there a way to create a variable dynamically in JavaScript?

The above code doesnt work, also tried:

Code:

var arrival[s] = document.forms["form"].elements["arrival"+s].value;

Hi Crmpicco!!
Use eval function.
Hope this will help you

Cheers :)

You would normally use an array for this sort of thing.
Why do you need to create a variable dynamically?
