Also i would like to know if I would submit the page would it submit the newly create input tags as well for me to work with.

kael.shipman Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 To the first question: you have to quote the entire id. You're trying to access a non-existent javascript userInput array, when you should be passing the string "userInputs["+id+"]" to the getElementById() function. As a side note, you don't need the single quotes in the input name, either ("userInput['userInput_boxes']" should be "userInput[userInput_boxes]"). To the second question: Yes, all inputs on the page, whether static or dynamic, will be available so long as they are children of the <form> element that's being submitted.
