If I had more than 10 items, my ff_1, ff_10, etc were also selected. So the code uses a for loop and searches for $="ff1_" & i & "]" etc. I added some business logic to control some validation and some regex validation to check for dates and numbers. The loop appends a space to the fields that haven't changed so that everything always gets saved even if it hasn't changed.

What changes would need to be made to still implement this audit trail you're describing? 15 $("input[name*=$ff3_]").val(); Literally, find all input controls with a name that contains ‘$ff3_’ (there will only be one) and return the value of the value attribute Since I’m using a multi-item dvwp in edit mode, the source shows my text boxes as “_ff11_” followed by the row number returned ( for instance “_ff11_3″).

15 $(”input[name*=$ff3_]“).val();

Literally, find all input controls with a name that contains ‘$ff3_’ (there will only be one) and return the value of the value attribute

I don't have either, so I can't see how it would look in my environment. As with all things jQuery, your configuration is likely to generate HTML slightly differently. Which is why I usually try to walk you through how I came up with the selectors I use. That way, if yours is different, you can make the necessary adjustments. If you continue to struggle with this one, jump over to Stump the Panel (third item from the left on the menu bar above this article), so you can post code snippets and we can help you parse through what you're seeing. Blessings, Jim Bob Dear Richard,

Also, in view source, I don't see any span tags. The column headers look like this instead: Date Awarded. Has it changed in 2010? Thank you! Hi Jim,
