RE: [Zope] Javascript vs. Zope

...

Javascript (in NS4 at least) cannot have ":"s in element names. Which means that I can't do document.formname.text:float.value = 3

Are there any possible workarounds, or I just can't use Zope types in form fields if I want to access them with Javascript?

How about:

document.formname['text:float'].value = 3

(untested)

I'm still learning JS, but I think that should work.

Try document.formname.elements[indexOfElement].value = 3 Regards Roelof
