Question

so now I have a form with this…

<INPUT type="text" name="budget[unbudgeted_balance]" value="">   
<INPUT TYPE="button" NAME="button2" Value="Get Funds Value" onClick="writeText(this.form)">

And some coffeescript as such…

window.writeText = (form) ->
  form.budget[unbudgeted_balance].value = "frack"

translated to JS as such…

window.writeText = function(form) {
  return form.budget[unbudgeted_balance].value = "frack";
};

If I do name=”budget”…It works. BUT if I do name=”budget[unbudgeted_balance]”, it won’t work, why is this. How do I fix?

Answer 1

The name of the field is budget[unbudgeted_balance]. Try:

form.elements["budget[unbudgeted_balance]"].value = "frack"
