Look at jquery.com
You can easily write an onclick event and bind a handler/function to many
controls in a single line of code. Each control will be referenceable as a
distinct DOM element so it works perfectly no matter how many of them you
have.
e.g.
<script language="javascript">
$(".plus").click( function (e) {
if ($(e.target).attr("class")=="plus opened") {
$(e.target).parent().find("tbody.details").hide();
$(e.target).removeClass("opened");
$(e.target).addClass("closed");
}
else {
$(e.target).parent().find("tbody.details").show();
$(e.target).removeClass("closed");
$(e.target).addClass("opened");
}
});
</script>
This example makes <tbody class='details'> elements expand (open) or shrink
(close) when a +/- button (class='plus') is clicked, by altering the CSS
class attribute of the tbody. I can put any number of these on one page and
never have to fiddle with individual <tbody>'s, for example in a grid with
many rows.
Imagine this employed in a Grid, where each Grid row is many <tr>...</tr>
'rows', and each one is enclosed in a <tbody>...</tbody>. That one little
bit of jquery code makes each <tbody> of the grid open/close when the button
beside it is clicked.
My point is, you need not worry about each of your textboxes having a
different name nor would you need to code six different 'onclick' events.
