Javascript: problem getting values from option boxes under FireFox (works fine in IE), different syn

My function call looks like this (spaces printed and %26lt; changed to | so

yahoo doesn't censor the code):

|input type="button" on Click = " javascript : lookup

document . getElementById ('parentbox2') ,

document. getElementsByTagName ('pagingmax') .

options [ document. getElementsByTagName('pagingmax'). selectedIndex]. value ) "

|/input|

This work fine (calls the function and runs it properly) under IE

but not Firefox (Firefox won't even run the function at all).

In fact Firefox's javascript debugger claims the options and selectedindex properties do not exist!

But, of course, I want to make my code cross-browser compatible.

Any ideas?

I'd bet it's the field parentbox2.

name and ID are pretty much equivalent in IE.. but in firefox they are not.

so if parentbox2 doesn't have an id, it just won't work.

hi

try to put a function in stead of using the code directely

that's will be ok

bye for now
Both

document.getElementsByName

and

document.getElementsByTagName

both return arrays not elements (getElements not getElement).

so looking at your code I would have expected

document.getElementsByName ('pagingmax') [0].

Try this anyway and see.
