KevinM1 Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 Can you update form fields with the same id's if the are in divs that are set to hidden? Semantically, an ID is a unique identifier, so, logically, there shouldn't be two elements with the same ID anywhere on your page. So, no, you wouldn't be able to use document.getElementById() on them. What you can do is access the elements by their names: <script type="text/javascript"> window.onload = function() { var input1 = document.forms["myForm"].elements["input1"]; var input2 = document.forms["myForm"].elements["input2"]; input1.value = "something"; input2.value = "something else"; } </script> </head> <body> <form name="myForm" action="#" method="post"> <input name="input1" type="text" /><br /> <input name="input2" type="text" /> </form> </body> </html> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
