no search results for drop down box

[buzzybee]

i copied this into my head
<script>
function searchPrompt(obj)
{
var rsp = prompt(&quot;Enter a value to search for.&quot;,&quot;&quot;
if(rsp) obj.value = rsp.toUpperCase();
}

</script>
then added this to my button
<input type=&quot;button&quot; value=&quot;Search this menu&quot; onclick=&quot;searchPrompt(this.form.txtstudent)&quot;>
i dont get an error, but when i type in a know value i dont get any results?
Sorry to be such a pest, i have ie 5

be sure to trim the values if you are retrieving them from a databse. for instance, form the database it may be:

'ra1 '

but you are looking for:

'ra1'
