[joelo]

Please could someone help me out...I don't know what I am doing wrong. I 've a dynamic form... when there is one record on the form...function does not work...but function works when there is more than one record on the form.

Please help me out


function passDate(str) {
for(i=0; i<document.device.PRE_idTESTDATE_.length; i++){
document.device.PRE_idTESTDATE_[i].value = str;
document.device.TUE_idTESTDATE_[i].value = str;
}
}

function passTechnicianname(str1) {
for(i=0; i<document.device.PRE_idTECHNICIANNAME_.length; i++){
document.device.PRE_idTECHNICIANNAME_[i].value = str1;
}
for(i=0; i<document.device.TUE_idTECHNICIANNAME_.length; i++){
document.device.TUE_idTECHNICIANNAME_[i].value = str1;
}
for(i=0; i<document.device.SUN_idTECHNICIANNAME_.length; i++){
document.device.SUN_idTECHNICIANNAME_[i].value = str1;
}
for(i=0; i<document.device.MON_idTECHNICIANNAME_.length; i++){
document.device.MON_idTECHNICIANNAME_[i].value = str1;
}
}

function passMonthyear(str2) {
for(i=0; i<document.device.PRE_idMONTHYEAR_.length; i++){
document.device.PRE_idMONTHYEAR_[i].value = str2;
}
for(i=0; i<document.device.TUE_idTECHNICIANNAME_.length; i++){
document.device.TUE_idMONTHYEAR_[i].value = str2;
}
for(i=0; i<document.device.SUN_idTECHNICIANNAME_.length; i++){
document.device.SUN_idMONTHYEAR_[i].value = str2;
}
for(i=0; i<document.device.MON_idTECHNICIANNAME_.length; i++){
document.device.MON_idMONTHYEAR_[i].value = str2;
}
}

It's probably due to a feature of Javascript in browsers where when a number of form input elements have the same name, they will be grouped together in an array under that name, but when there is only one, the name will refer to the element itself.
I assume that the document.device is set up as an object referencing for element names, if so you could modify your code as follows...

if ( document.device.idTESTDATE_ instanceof Array )
{
for(i=0; i<document.device.PRE_idTESTDATE_.length; i++)
{
document.device.PRE_idTESTDATE_[i].value = str;
document.device.TUE_idTESTDATE_[i].value = str;
}
}
else
{
document.device.PRE_idTESTDATE_.value = str;
document.device.TUE_idTESTDATE_.value = str;
}

now it works when there is on record on the form and will not work when there more than one record.... Please I need it to work both ways

you need to res visit your coding logic,it seems to me that there ae problems in the over all coding structure.

Post a link to the full page so that we can see what are you doing
