I'm a cold fusion developer who knows nothing about javascript. So, I need some help here please. I have set hidden form fields in my form template, as follows: <form name="theform" action="actionpage"..etc> <input type="hidden" id="xPhoto1" name="Photo1" value="#Photo1#"> <input type="hidden" id="xPhoto2" name="Photo2" value="#Photo2#"> <input type="hidden" id="xPhoto3" name="Photo3" value="#Photo3#"> <input type="hidden" id="xPhoto4" name="Photo4" value="#Photo4#"> <input type="submit"...etc> </form> The page that processes this form needs to check for the existence of the ID attribute in the above form. In words, it would work something like this: If there is an id field with value of xPhoto1 in the passing form, then do something....else do something else. I need to keep the name attribute as it is because it references a database field. I was hoping I could use the ID attribute to reference this particular hidden field without also referencing a form field name. Thanks in advance for any assistance. Kind regards, Paul
