problem with formfield name php variable

Hi,

I am writting a booking form script for my website and have decided to include the Tigra Calendar. My problem is that the form field name changes for each new booking added. Basically what happens is that when "add new booking" is selected the next record id is appended to the field name i.e If the field is named Indate, once php has processed the page the form field name appears as Indate(3). 3 is the next record id. I have provided the code in two sections.

1) PHP Script
2) The processed page output

1)<td nowrap bgcolor="#1e90ff"><input name='outdate(<?php echo $cnsaptsbookings->AbsolutePosition()?>)' value='<?php echo fixHTMLquotes($cnsaptsbookings->Value("outdate")) ?>' size="12" onfocus="this.blur()"><a href="javascript:void(0)" onclick="gfPop.fEndPop(document.cnsapts.indate(<?php echo $cnsaptsbookings->AbsolutePosition()?>),document.cnsapts.outdate(<?php echo $cnsaptsbookings->AbsolutePosition()?>));return false;" HIDEFOCUS><img name="popcal" align="absbottom" src="calbtn.gif" width="34" height="22" border="0" alt=""></a></td>

2) <td nowrap bgcolor="#1e90ff">
<input name='indate(4)' value='' size="12" onfocus="this.blur()"><a href="javascript:void(0)" onclick="gfPop.fStartPop(document.cnsapts.indate(4),document.cnsapts.outdate(4));return false;" HIDEFOCUS><img name="popcal2" align="absbottom" src="calbtn.gif" width="34" height="22" border="0" alt=""></a></td>

I don't know much about Javascript but I have a feeling it doesn't like the outputted syntax.

Any Help would be appreciated.

Best Regards
Steve Laws

It's not preferable to use brackets in input names. () in JavaScript usually follow function name or are used for priority indication in arithmetical expressions. That's why construction

document.cnsapts.indate(4)

isn't reference to form element for JavaScript. So you should use the following construction:

document.forms['cnsapts'].elements['indate(4)']
