Description:
------------
Problem with PEAR :: QuickForm :: Hierselect Element

latest version

when giving the form element an array type field name the javascript funtionality breaks

Reproduce code:
---------------
$element =& HTML_QuickForm::createElement(
'hierselect',
'record[somefield]',
'Some Field'
);

note: naming the field above "record[somefield]" above( in order to retrieve data as array ) will cause a javascript error and doesn't allow the script to work

Expected result:
----------------
the javascript should work for array field names also

Actual result:
--------------
javascript doesn't work

Note: this bug is OS-independent.

To make the bug report a little more clear, what happens is that elements with array names such as "record[somefield]" get munged into the form "hs_record[somefield]_otherfield" by hierselect.

I've come up with a quick hack to make it work. All you have to do is change the _setJS() function in hierselect.php as follows:

-$this->_jsArrayName = 'hs_' . $this->getName();
+$this->_jsArrayName = 'hs_' . preg_replace('/\[|\]/', '_', $this->getName());
