<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
There's a web page that querys a list of names, and returns the Name corresponding IDNo.<br />
The IDno is in a Hidden Field.<br />
If there is an array [query returns more than 1 name and 1 IDNo] I have no problem:<br />
var exists = eval(document.form.hidden[<wbr />i].value)<br />
window.alert (exists) &nbsp; &nbsp; //object<br />
if(exists) {window.alert (&quot;true&quot;)} else {window.alert (&quot;false&quot;)}<br />
<br />
The problem is when there is only one Name returned from the query hence No array, the above returns an error [Object doesnot support....] and I have to do this:<br />
var exists = eval(document.form.hidden.<wbr />value)<br />
<br />

Check if Element Exists problem...if in Array or NOT
