Hidden Element

[rohit.d.agarwal]

Hi All,

I have two types of hidden elements on my form


Type A) the id of the element is static (see below)


<html:hidden name="qtyPlanForm" property="status" styleId="stat01" />


Type B) the id is generated based on the for() loop variable (see
below)


<html:hidden name="qtyPlanForm" property="posmId" value='<%="" +
posmVO.getId().intValue() %>' styleId='<%="pid" + i + "" + j%>'/>


When I do a document.getElementById() for Type A hidden element, I
get
an object, however if I try the same for Type B hidden element I get
null.


Please advise in case I am doing something incorrectly

You have posted server-side code for a client-side problem.
Analyzing what your server-side code actually generates for the
client is going to help you in finding your other mistake.

I'd say you don't have very clear the different between HTML, JavaScript
and ASP.NET. In order to debug client-side scripting you have to look at
the actual HTML generated by your server-side ASP.NET code. The
available tools range from browser's "View Source" to Firebug extension
for Firefox.
