I have a form text box that I need to load, but the name of the field is a variable (quan1, quan2, etc.). The following code results in a blank alert and the box remains empty. I think I've tried all the simpler combinations. Any suggestions?

function spcfnc(x,value) {
setVar('window.order.quan'+x,value)
alert(eval('window.order.quan'+x).value)
}
function setVar(y,z){
y.value = z;
}

This should work:

alert(window.order['quan'+x].value)

Although, I would think you should be using 'document' and not 'window'
