How are you "using" this lne of code?

I suggest, for one, you use backslashes.

var toDisplay = "<select name=\"sigDuration\" onChange=\"changeDuration(this);\">";

I was using backslash before and also tried it again..but it doesn't work..the following is my function..

function changeDurationToDropDown()
{
var hidSigDuration = eval(formName).hidSigDuration.value
hidSigDuration = hidSigDuration.split(";")
var toDisplay = "<select name=\"sigDuration\" onChange=\"changeDuration(this);\">";
toDisplay = toDisplay + "<option value=''></option>"
toDisplay = toDisplay + "<option value='9999'>Text</option>"
for(var i=0;i<hidSigDuration.length;i++)
{
if (eval(formName).hidDefSigDuration.value == hidSigDuration)
toDisplay = toDisplay + "<option selected value='" + hidSigDuration + "'>" + hidSigDuration +"</option>"
else
toDisplay = toDisplay + "<option value='" + hidSigDuration + "'>" + hidSigDuration +"</option>"
}
toDisplay = toDisplay + "</select>"
DurationDiv.innerHTML = toDisplay
eval(formName).hidSigDurationFlag.value = "D"
}

maybe u ushould use single qoutes?

var toDisplay = "<select name='sigDuration' onChange='changeDuration(this);'>";

Known is handfull, Unknown is worldfull

Or... use the regular quotes surrounded by single quotes...

var toDisplay = '<select name="sigDuration" onChange="changeDuration(this);">';

Hi guys,

Thanks a lot for the quick responses. Unfortunately, i tried various ways with quotes either single or double..but none of them worked(though it obviously works on my desktop but not on pocket pc)..i think this is due to pocket pc's limited support for javascript..now i have to find other ways to make this work..let me know if u guys have any other ideas...thanks again..
