Hi all,
I have the following HTML code:
<form>
<table border=1 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=3>
<tr>
<td>Select a Document:</td>
<td><SELECT name="type" id="type">
<OPTION
VALUE="/cgi-bin/doctrack.cgi?up date_doc=1&doc_ id=27&version=1 &revision=0&no_ sop=SOP1435">SO P1435
<OPTION
VALUE="/cgi-bin/doctrack.cgi?up date_doc=1&doc_ id=3&version=1& revision=0&no_s op=SOP2223">SOP 2223
<OPTION
VALUE="/cgi-bin/doctrack.cgi?up date_doc=1&doc_ id=5&version=1& revision=0&no_s op=SOP2224">SOP 2224
<OPTION
VALUE="/cgi-bin/doctrack.cgi?up date_doc=1&doc_ id=33&version=1 &revision=0&no_ sop=SOP2225">SO P2225
</SELECT></td>
</tr>
</table></form>
<BR>
<input type="button" value="Next -->"
onClick="docume nt.forms[0].type.submit(); ">
When I click on the button, I have a javascript error. I just want to
execute the command into the "VALUE" argument when I click on the
button. How I can do that?
Thank you
Regards,

Give your <form> a default action:
<form action="noJS.ht ml" method="GET">
Change the name and id of your <select> to something other than "type"
(a Select object has a "type" property which you are overriding by
naming it that). Also the name and the id should not be the same:
<select name="myType" id="myTypeId">
Then have a submit button as follows:
<input type="submit"
value="Next -->"
onclick="
var s = this.form.eleme nts['myType'];
this.form.actio n = s.options[s.selectedIndex].value;
"
This way, if JavaScript is available, the -action- of the form will
change and the form will do a GET to the value of the currently selected
Optioin. If JavaScript is disabled or unavailable, the form will submit
to the default action you specified display a page telling the user the
form only works if they have JavaScript enabled.

I thought id and name should be the same because of the way IE seems to
treat them as equals (in IE, getElementById( 'x') will get a named form
element named x even if it has no id, where as other browsers will only
get it if it has an id x).
Can you elaborate? Then have a submit button as follows:
<input type="submit" value="Next -->" onclick=" var s = this.form.eleme nts['myType']; this.form.actio n = s.options[s.selectedIndex].value; "
Would this be better as an onsubmit on the form, rather than on onclick
on the submit button? To me that seems better from a maintenance point
of view, so the action, onsubmit, etc. are all coded in the same place
but there may be other issues to consider.
The OP has put the "submit" outside the form, will this.form... still
work? I think you are suggesting the submit be *in* the form, I'm not
sure the OP will realise that.
If the submit is to be triggered from outside the form, then that may
be an argument for including any actions in the form's onsubmit, rather
than on the button (though there are likely arguments both ways). I'd
be more curious as to why the submit is not in the form.
This way, if JavaScript is available, the -action- of the form will change and the form will do a GET to the value of the currently selected Optioin. If JavaScript is disabled or unavailable, the form will submit to the default action you specified display a page telling the user the form only works if they have JavaScript enabled.
Or do the required function on the server?

Hi all
I have a script where I dynamically create multiple inputs and selects
from a script. The inputs and selects must have an associated onchange
handler.
I have the script working fine on Firefox, Safari and Konqueror, but the
onchange event just doesn't fire on IE6.
Firefox's javascript console shows no errors, and the IE script debugger
shows nothing. onchange is not triggered.

Hi,
I want to know the index of the option that a user clicks on in a

it). This seems fairly simple but I can't seem to figure out how to do
