onChange on drop down box

[Gill1978]

Hi,

I've got a drop down box that should reload the same page whenever any of the options are selected.

However I get a Microsoft Development error;
"An exception of Type 'Microsoft jscript runtime error: object doesn't support this property or method' was not handled"

The JScript function looks like this:
<script Language=&quot;Jscript&quot;>
function doReload(reloadType) {
// if (result==false)
// return; // user canceled search
//else {
if (reloadType == true) {
window.focus();
window.location.reload(false); // Reload page
}
else {
window.parent.doReload(true);
};
}
</script>

and the drop down contains this;

<select size=&quot;1&quot; name=&quot;dropdown_menu&quot; onchange=doReload(this.value)>
<OPTION SELECTED value=&quot;&quot;>1
<OPTION value=&quot;true&quot;>2
</SELECT>

Can anyone see where i'm going wrong??

From what I can see, the way you're trying to retrieve the value from the dropdown object won't work.
Try to explicit use the object name:

...
if (dropdown_menu.value == true) {
window.focus();
window.location.reload(false); // Reload page
}
else {
window.parent.doReload(true);
};

I tried changing it to the above using

function reloadParent(load){
if (dropdown_menu.value == true) {
window.focus();
window.location.reload(false); // Reload page
}
else {
window.parent.reload(true);
};

}

But i get the Microsoft Development Environment error
