var x = "card";    
document.nick.x.value = card_dealt;

Not quite sure what do do here. I googled this a bunch and came up with [] but they didn't work or I'm not using them right.

    Are you trying to get the element with the id equal to x? (in this case, "card")? If not what are you trying to get? Commented Nov 3, 2012 at 1:35

Use square brackets.

var x = "card";
document.nick[x].value = card_dealt;

This lets you use the evaluation an expression as the property name.
