Get Name ID?

[LiL|aaron]

Hey

I was wondering how would i get like an id value so i could do something like this:

I have 2 fields and a div (status).

<input name="item_1" type="hidden" value="1" /> 
<input type="text" name="date_1" id="dateselect" onchange="check();" />
<div id="status_1">Click on the field above!</div> 

<input name="item_2" type="hidden" value="2" /> 
<input type="text" name="date_2" id="dateselect" onchange="check();" />
<div id="status_2">Click on the field above!</div>

Thats 2 sets of field and there would be alot more! coded with PHP (foreach item).

So i need to pass the values of these fields into a ajax request.

date = $("[name='date']").val();
item = $("[name='item']").val();
elm = "#status";

How would i get the "1" or "2" as a var called id, so i could do something like

date = $("[name='date_"+id+"']").val();
item = $("[name='item_"+id+"']").val(); or item = id;
elm = "#status_"+id;

Since there will be multiple of these mini checkers, doing the same but not at the same time, only when clicked. I can easily do it when there is only 1 but when there is like more then 1 im a little stuck.

Thanks for any help
