problem passing a form variable to a function

[tamak]

I have a relatively simple thing Im working on thats generating a javascript error (formfield 'has no properties')...

The error only appears in non-i.e. browsers though - namely, firefox and netscape...


I have ASP page that contains a form field (that holds the ID value of the 'record' retunred in my recordset - pulled from a simple database)... the id of this form field is simply 'idvalue'.

I have the form field that holds the id value 'hidden' (i.e. type =hidden) and have a hyperlink right after it that has the following function call:

onClick="showEvents(idvalue.value);"

the function that the value is passed to always fails because it says that idvalue has no properties... heres the function:

function showEvents(str)
{ 
var url="showMediaRecord.asp?sid=" + Math.random() + "&ID=" + str
xmlHttp=GetXmlHttpObject(stateChanged)
xmlHttp.open("GET", url , true)
xmlHttp.send(null)

}
