check out forums and docs for "DOM" issues : the Document Object Model isn't the same for ie and netscape - you don't refer to objects in the same way

Hi Mtneer,

Make sure your <select> tag is within the <form> tag,
for example,

<form>
<select>
<option value=&quot;&quot; selected> Enemy Boards </option>
....
....
</select>
</form>

hope this helps,

and the form name has to be &quot;form&quot; if you want to keep your function as it is
