javascript working incorrectly in mozilla with select element

2 New Member
Hi, I've searched the forum for this problem but haven't found anything relevant.
I've got a javascript code which dynamically creates list-boxes in a form. It
works perfectly fine in IE, but in Firefox 2 I change the selected value in
a list-box but nothing gets submitted via POST.
The dynamic list-box creation code looks like this:
[HTML]
<form name="form0" method=POST action="/dynamic/AppDirector/Global/GlobalParameter s" onkeypress="ret urn webDefaultFormK eyHandler(this, event,IDN_Conve rsion_Page_Set_ Handler)">
<table border=0>
<tr><td class="varName" >
<b>Open New Entry When Source Port Different</b>
</td>
<td class="varValue " id="varValue1" >
<input type="hidden" name="mibId_0" value="187">
<script language="JavaS cript1.2" type="text/javascript">
var187_0Object = new SelectBox("var1 87_0","varValue 1");
var187_0Object. add("enable","e nable");
var187_0Object. add("disable"," disable");
var187_0Object. setValue("disab le");
</script></td></tr>[/HTML]

SelectBox is defined in another javascript file, and the code goes like this:
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. function SelectBoxSetValue(value) {
  2.   options = this.sel.options;
  3.   for (i=0;i<options.length;i++) {
  4.     if (options[i].value == value) {
  5.       this.sel.selectedIndex = i;
  6.     }
  7.   }
  8. }
  9.  
  10. function SelectBoxAdd(text,value)
  11. {
  12.   ops = this.sel.options;
  13.   for (i=0;i<ops.length;i++) {
  14.     if (ops[i].text == text) {
  15.       return;
  16.     }
  17.   }  
  18.   o = document.createElement("OPTION");
  19.   o.text = text;
  20.   o.value = value;
  21.   addoption(this.sel,o);  
  22. }
  23.  
  24. function SelectBox(name,parentId) {
  25.   this.sel  = document.createElement("SELECT");
  26.   this.sel.name = name;
  27.   this.sel.id   = name;
  28.   if (parentId != null) {
  29.     this.par   = document.getElementById(parentId);   
  30.   } else {
  31.     this.par   = document;
  32.   }
  33.   this.add      = SelectBoxAdd;
  34.   this.remove   = SelectBoxRemove;
  35.   this.setValue = SelectBoxSetValue;
  36.   this.par.appendChild(this.sel);
  37. }
  38.  
Can anyone give some pointers as to why this wouldn't work in Firefox?
Thanks in advance

Welcome to TSDN!

Perhaps line 31 should be
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. this.par = document.body;

Thanks!
I managed to solve the problem, fortunately. I had the<form> element as a direct son of <table>, and firefox didn't like it that much :))

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows.

For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
