Hello,

Here is my input field :

<input name='5' type='text'/>

I can't change it. I must use an integer for the name.

I need javascript code to get its value.

But document.getElementById("myform").elements["5"].value
does not give the right result, it gives the value from another field
(the 5th of the list, not the one whose name is 5).

Please help.

Thanx !
M

How about

document.getElementsBy Name("5")[0]

Assuming there's only one item with name="5" in your page.

'need' and 'must', who is the boss overthere?

var myF = document.getElementById('myform');
var myT = myF.getElementsByTagName('input');

for (var r=0;r<myT.length;r++)
if (myT[r].name == '5')
var result = myF[r].value;

Use

<input type="text" name="5" value="test" id="5">

document.getElementById("5").value

to use document.getElementById you must set an id

Not valid, since id's may not begin with a number.

Well I tested it before I posted and it worked under IE

Being able to say "it worked under IE" doesn't mean a whole lot though.
