" array dimension missing
TextField dsplNameField = new TextField[];"

What we are trying to do is allow user to input id and that will match to ids in the array and coresponding name

Here is the code I have, the problems I would like help with is as follows. I am unable to enter the id on the ID box and have it pull up the name of the person it coresponds to and the last window close does not fucntion properly.

Any help is appreciated.
