Can't get combo box value in FF

[Kendel]

Can someone please show me how to get a combo box value in FF?
With IE7, I can use this:

var comboVal = document.getElementById("combo1").value;

OR

var selIndex = document.getElementById("combo1").selectedIndex;
comboValue = document.getElementById("combo1").options[selIndex].value;

OR

var combo1 = document.getElementById("combo1");
var comboValue = combo1.options[combo1.selectedIndex].value;

None of these work with FF. Why???

Hi

I bet your [tt]select[/tt] has no [tt]id[/tt] attribute, only [tt]name[/tt].

By the way, all three codes works for me in FireFox.

My select does have an ID. I'm using FF 3.5
It's strange!

Hi

The the error is somewhere else. Post your entire code or, even better, give us an URL to a publicly accessible version.

Thank you for your offer. After each line of JavaScript function, I pop up an alert box saying OK or not and it fails right after I try to get the value of the combo box.

OK, I found the problem. It has something to do with the way I use getElementById in portal environment.

The above code will work just fine for FF in Web Application. Thank you.

I'm a long time member of tek-tips. I know when to give a star.

For this thread, who should I give a star to and why?

You could give one to me just for posting this un-amusing and off-topic post

I am sorry Kendel, I was reading two posts at the same time and I put my comment in the wrong one. And I have seen your name many times here, so I certainly know you are a long time member

That's OK. I guess I should give a star to BRPS then
