NS trouble

[Lisen]

Hi,
with this little piece of coding (I've changed the names of the text fields):

<SELECT NAME=&quot;NumberOf&quot; onChange=&quot;TheTotalSumOf.value=((NumberOf.value) *
(<%=ThePrice%>))&quot;>

When a number is chosen in the dropdown, the total sum is shown in the
textfield named &quot;TheTotalSumOf&quot;. This works fine in IE but not in NS (except
from version 7.1).
As I figure a lot of people still use NS-versions from 4.* and upwards.
Does anybody have a clue how to change this script, making it function in
earlier NS?

With best regards,

Hardly anybody uses NS 4.*. It's a dinosaur as far as browsers go. Don't waste your time trying to support it. If you do, buy stock in Excedrin and open an account at your local liquor store - you'll need both!

There's always a better way. The fun is trying to find it!

NS requires you to specify the form that your element is in. try this (no pun intended):

<SELECT NAME=&quot;NumberOf&quot; onChange=&quot;this.form.TheTotalSumOf.value=((this.value) *
(<%=ThePrice%>))&quot;>
