Hi all,

I'm trying, so far unsuccessful to make a function to change the name of a hidden input based upon the country of the user, i have some php code that determines there country of origin of the user fine. I then have a small java script function to change the name of the hidden input depending on the country of origin.
The php variable that holds the country of origin is $country; that variable then needs to be assigned to x in my java script function. $country is equal to AU if your in Australia and US if your in America.

<script type = "text/javascript">

function changelist() {
var x = "<?php echo $country;?>";

if (x == "AU") {
document.getElementById("theHiddenInput").name = "SelectLists[41]"};

else if (x == "US") {
document.getElementById("theHiddenInput").name = "SelectLists[43]"};

}

</script>

<input type="hidden" id="theHiddenInput" name="SelectLists[41]" value="Yes">

If anyone has any tips or pointers as to what I'm doing wrong, I'd greatly appreciate it,

Thanks.

You're setting it as a string, have you tried just doing:
var x = <?php echo $country;?>;?

Hey CamoDeveloper thanks for the reply,

I tried what you said, and

 var x = <?php echo $country;?>; 

is working, its receiving the correct value (AU), However that value is not replacing the hidden inputs name. Any ideas?


Thanks
