benjam Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 I have a form that POSTs to php, and inside that form I have several inputs for peoples names, i.e. first_name and last_nameThese 8 field groups have the name 'first_name[]' and 'last_name[]' so that when they are passed to the php script I can access them through $first_name[$i] and $last_name[$i].My problem is this, after a certain date, I want to disable those input boxes, but I cannot select them through JavaScript because they have a name that contains square brackets.I have tried:form.first_name[].disabled = true; // errorfor (var i = 0; i < 8; i++){ form.first_name[i].disabled = true; // error}form.first_name.disabled = true; // errorAny suggestions on how to disable these input elements?Thanks.
