filling forms, get input name with getElementInfo

I try to get dinamicaly the name of the fields and then it fails. It works if I write the name between quotes.

var elms = this.getElementsInfo('select');
var name1 = elms[0].attributes.name;
var name2 = elms[1].attributes.name;
utils.dump(name1); // "tb|2564"
utils.dump(name2); // "tb|19"

This works:

this.fill('form#tbsa', {
    "tb|2564": 10,
    "tb|19": 15
}, true);

This fails:

this.fill('form#tbsa', {
    name1: 10,
    name2: 15
}, true);

Anybody knows why? Thanks, - Albin

Solution

  • You can't do it in the way you do at the moment, because this will set the values of the properties name1 and name2.

    If you want to to it by the parameter names in a variable you have to create the object first.

    This would be following code:

    var foo = {};
foo[name1] = 10;
foo[name2] = 15;
this.fill('form#tbsa', foo, true);
