select.options[intstring].selected = true; in firefox?

[Tracey]

Hi there

given the following xml file (and given that typeObj is an xml node "subscriptionttypeid"), could someone please tell me why

document.getElementById('subscriptiontype').options[typeObj.item(0).text].selected = true;

works in IE but

document.getElementById('subscriptiontype').options[typeObj.item(0).textContent].selected = true;

does not work in firefox? I get a getElementById("subscriptiontype") has no properties in firefox. I have tried wrapping the node value with CDATA tag but still get this error.

XML

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
