Hii Dj Kat!!

Have you tried
obj=eval("document.formname.currentBox" + Current)
obj.checked=true

Hope this will help you

Cheers :)

You are to ahve two unrelated pieces of code, you can create a hidden element by using:

Code:

var oHidden = document.createElement("input");
oHidden.type = "hidden";
//append element to parent:
document.getElementById("parentDiv").appendChild(oHidden);

Your other code seems to be tring to access a checkbox, not a hidden field.
