this.value in Netscape?

[TAMSIN]

Hi!
I wrote a validation script, which worked fine in IE, then tried it in Netscape & it all fell apart... I think I've narrowed it down to the fact that I was passing this.value to my validation function. In IE that was fine, but in Netscape it seems to pass null. I tried the following, putting alert instead of my function, & in IE I get e.g. "2000" popping up in an alert, but in Netscape I get Null. Am I missing something really basic here?
Thanks!

<SELECT NAME=&quot;order_no&quot; onChange=&quot;alert(this.value)&quot;>
<OPTION value=&quot;2000&quot;>2000</OPTION>
<OPTION value=&quot;2001&quot;>2001</OPTION>
<OPTION value=&quot;2002&quot;>2002</OPTION>
</SELECT> [sig][/sig]

you need to reference the object's value that is selected like this:

this.options[this.selectedIndex].value [sig]<p>ray<br><a href=mailto:rheindl@bju.edu>rheindl@bju.edu</a><br><a href= > </a><br> [/sig]
