Netscape and reading form select box

[zippynz]

Hi,

I am trying to read the contents of a drop down select box in Netscape 4.7+

this is the script (which works in ie of course) that I am using

function go(){
var index = frmChoosePeople.CountryID.selectedIndex
var id = document.frmChoosePeople.CountryID.options[index].value;
document.frmChoosePeople.test.value = index
}

<form name=&quot;frmChoosePeople&quot; id=&quot;frmChoosePeople&quot;>
<select name=&quot;CountryID&quot; onchange=&quot;go();&quot;>
<option value=&quot;1&quot;>New Zealand</option>
<option value=&quot;2&quot;>Australia</option>
<option value=&quot;3&quot;>USA</option>
</select>
<input type=&quot;text&quot; name=&quot;test&quot; value=&quot;&quot;>
</form>

Please help

You probably need the document qualification on the first line, and I don't think you need the &quot;.options&quot; qualifier in there. You probably also want to assign the value to the text box rather than the index. Try this:

function go(){
var index = document.frmChoosePeople.CountryID.selectedIndex
var id = document.frmChoosePeople.CountryID[index].value;
document.frmChoosePeople.test.value = id;
}

Yup you are right it needs document in there,
it also need to be document.forms

I figured it out just after i posted but couldnt get back on the net!

Thanks for your help
