I submitted a question earlier, but I think there is a way: I have a dynamic form - a user selects the number of diagnostic codes they have and that number of sections appear. This includes a to and from date in drop downs. They also have repeat names ie: 2 diag codes will have 2 fromMonths name/value pairs. When the JSP is submitted, java takes care of parsing.

A change has been requested to a certain functionality: if user changes from date, the to date should change to match the from date.

My thoughts, since it has repeat names, I could capture the form element number (document.forms[0].elements[3]) and then add to the element number to change the value of the appropriate field (the to date).

I think this achievable because in the code below, I am able to capture the sourceIndex. There MUST be some command I could use that would give me the element number.

Oh, and even though the below code captures the number, it doesn't seem to tranlate properly.

Your wording seems like you think I doubted you. I meant no disrespect, I really appreciate your help. My attempt here was not to belittle you, but to continue checking. There might have been an answer from someone who may know a trick. If I implied anything negative, I am truly sorry.

I need to identify a form's id from one of it's elements. Does anyone know how to do this.

Here's an example of what I'm trying to do:
<script>
function getFormID(inFormElement){
sourceForm = inFormElement.parent (this doesn't work, but is there a way to do this);
alert("you clicked on "+sourceForm.id);
}
</script>

<form id=Form1>
<input type=button onclick="getFormID(this)">
</form>

<form id=Form2>
<input type=button onclick="getFormID(this)">
</form>
