need count from split function

[bradkenyon]

i need the count of words between each separator, which is a colon separating each value, i want the count of values so i can put it in a for loop, so i can use that as an index when i plug the values into the value element of a input type="text" box

this is the code i have now, but as you see, i have it set to go from index 0 to 3, starting at 0 is cool, but i want it to automatically detect how the ending index, which is 3 in this example.


<%
dim txt,a
txt="Mr. David Miller:Mr. Brad Morse:Mr. Jack Smith:Mr. Johnny Cash:"
a=Split(txt,":")

for t = 0 to 3
%>
<input type="text" name="absentee" value="<%=a(t)%>" size="30"><br>
<%
next
%>

thanks in advanced.

<script type="text/javascript">

var x = document.getElementById("inputs");
x.innerHTML += "<input type=\"text\" name=\"absenteee\" size=\"30\"/><br>";

Dim mode,mode_a,i

mode_a=split(mode,",")

For i=LBound(mode_a) to UBound(mode_a)

Next
