Select box error

[Albuckj]

This piece of script does exactly what I want it to but it comes up with an error on the

following line: ops = document.form1.poss.options.text;
error = 'document.form1.poss.options[...].text' is not an object

poss is the name of my select box. If I put a number in the error line in place of i (at

options), say 4, it prints out the text of select box value number 4, and there are no

errors.

With the way I have done it, it is perfect except that this error comes up. Why?????

<script>
ops = new Array();
var total = document.form1.poss.options.length;
var temp;
document.write(&quot;Select box option numbers: &quot;+total+&quot;<BR>&quot;
for (i=0;i<=total;i++)
{
ops = document.form1.poss.options.text;
document.write(ops+&quot;<BR>&quot;
}
</script>

Try this:

<script>
ops = new Array();
var total = document.form1.poss.options.length;
var temp;
document.write(&quot;Select box option numbers: &quot;+total+&quot;<BR>&quot;
for (i=0;i<=total;i++)
{
ops = document.form1.poss.options.text;
document.write(ops+&quot;<BR>&quot;
}

I've noticed that in my original message it missed out any occurance where I wrote 'i' in square brackets, and it turned my text into italic from that moment onwards. Anyone know why?
Cyberwolf14 => I think you had the same problem. From a square brackets with an i in onwards, your text is italic.

Hang on, I know the problem now, an i with square brackets around changes everything to italic. I've changed it to x now. Cyberwolf => Can u re-reply with your suggested code? Cheers:

<script>
ops = new Array();
var total = document.form1.poss.options.length;
document.write(&quot;Select box option numbers: &quot;+total+&quot;<BR>&quot;
for (x=0;x<=total;x++)
{
ops[x] = document.form1.poss.options[x].text;
document.write(ops[x]+&quot;<BR>&quot;
}
</script>

Hello again,

if you use this:

<form name=&quot;form1&quot;>
<select name=&quot;poss&quot;>
<option value=&quot;test1&quot;>test1</option>
<option value=&quot;test2&quot;>test2</option>
</select>
</form>

than document.form1.poss.options[x].text is wrong, use
document.form1.poss.options[x].value My site:
