I am trying to do the basic task of setting a text field from the
choice made from a select box. I learned how to code it from my
O'Reilly Javascript reference which is a few years old. The code works
as expected in Safari but not Firefox which is where I really need it
to work primarily. Of course, I would like it to work everywhere. I
would greatly appreciate it if someone could point out my error. I did
check to make sure that all javascript functionality is enabled in
Firefox. Thank you!
