netscape 4 problem

[aperfectcircle]

In order to use absolute positioning I have a <select> within a <div>. Before this I referenced the <select> options with:
document.formname.selectname.selectedIndex == x

But that won't work now in Netscape 4.
What should I put now that it's in a <div>? Or am I just SOL?

Thanks

I don't know if this will help or not, and you may have already tried it, but maybe try adding a name attribute to the division and using the division name in the reference.

I know netscape really starts chocking when working with division. All kinds of anomalies start showing up. An alternative might be to use the 'array' syntax something like:

document.form[1].element[3].value

I am sure the above is correct - it may be forms with an s or elements with an s. But sometimes I have worked around netscape using this methodology.
