I am using a query to populate a list of messages by using a loop, here's my code:

<?php
$sql_i_msg_sent_waiting="SELECT t1.i_message_id,t2.username,t2.name,t2.propic,t2.age,t2.dob,t3.religion,t3.caste 
FROM candidate_i_message as t1, candidate_register_table as t2, candidate_social_table as t3 WHERE t1.from_username='$_SESSION[logged_user]' AND t1.to_username=t2.username AND t2.username=t3.username AND t1.status='0'";
$result_i_msg_sent_waiting=mysql_query($sql_i_msg_sent_waiting,$con);
$count=mysql_num_rows($result_i_msg_sent_waiting);
echo $count;

?>



<div id="section_i_message_sent_waiting" style="width:650px; overflow:auto;">
         <h2>Awaiting Sent Request</h2> 
          <?php
          if(mysql_num_rows($result_i_msg_sent_waiting)==0)
           {
            ?>
            <div style="width:650px; border-bottom:1px solid #CCCCCC" align="center">
            <table border='0' cellspacing='0' cellpadding='0' width='550px' align='center'>
            <tr style='padding-botton:5px; border-bottom:1px solid #CCCCCC'>
            <td width='50px'/>
            <td><FONT COLOR=red FACE='Geneva, Arial' SIZE=2>
                       No Messages Found.</FONT></td>
                    <td width='50px'/></tr></table>
            </div>      

         <?php
         }
         else
         {
         while($row_i_msg_sent_waiting=mysql_fetch_array($result_i_msg_sent_waiting))
         {

         </div>
         <?php 
         } 
         }?>

</div>

the line

<input type="text" name="cancel_request[]" id="cancel_request[]" 
                    value="<?php echo $row_i_msg_sent_waiting['i_message_id'];?>"/>

                creates a array of input type text, and each input text contains corressponding message_id...since each input text is contained within a form, and since the form is within a loop, the form is also repeatative..when the submit button will be clicked corressponding to a particular form, the input type text[] within that form will fire the value to get accepted in the javascript i give below...

<script>
function cancel_request(obj) {

alert(document.getElementByName('cancel_request[]').value);
}
</script>

But the script is showing problem, it's not working at all. I don't know what's wrong. It's not displaying anything. There is message_id 1 and 2: one text type input[] contains value 1, another value 2.

When I click the submit button corresponding to value 1, the value of that text type input will be send to JavaScript and displayed. What's the problem with my script?

The function is getElementsByName - Elements in the plural. You then access it like an array.
