Attributes and a Javascript validation script

[chucklasker]

I want to use a Javascript checkform validation script to validate a product page's attributes. I'm hard-coding the form completely, and it has [] characters that are screwing up the Javascript.

Here is some of the attribute code:

<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="AttributeCode[3]" VALUE="PartInfo">
Middle Name:
<INPUT TYPE = "text" NAME = "AttributeValue[3]" VALUE = "" SIZE = 40>


Here is the onsubmit script:

<INPUT TYPE="submit" VALUE="Add To Basket" onClick="YY_checkform('form1','Attribute[3]','#q','0','Please enter your Middle Name.');return document.MM_returnValue">

The problem is, the brackets kill the javascript. Any idea how I can get around that?

Note - I'm using more sophisticated validation checks than the Miva server-side checks, which is why I'm using Javascript.

Chuck,

Escape the brackets with \ in your javascript. AttributeName'\['0'\]'

Thanks, Vic. We tried every combination we could think of in using the slash as the escape. None work. I think part of the problem is the checkform script has code in it that has it's own [2] type stuff... Maybe I need a different checkform validation script...

You might be able to create an array with AttributeName in javascript and pass the input name value as a string. There you should be able to append the brackets and array position.
