Object required problem cant figure out

[griffinheart]

hey there this script works fine in firefox.

but in ie the this call

document.getElementById(form).style.display='block';

gives me object required, well i don't know much about java and can't figure out how to make it work

EDIT: one thing to note is if i pass the value manually with " ' " it works fine im guessing its because form is passing like a string but wouldn't that be ok?!
some help please.

Thanks

<script type="text/javascript">
function display_form(form){
    var pre = new Array(3);
    pre[0] = 'ins_';
    pre[1] = 'del_';
    pre[2] = 'mod_';
    var suf = new Array(3);
    suf[0] = 'cli';
    suf[1] = 'est';
    suf[2] = 'enc';
    var div_name = new Array(3);
    for (var i=0;i<3;i++){
        div_name[i] = new Array(3);
    }    
    for (var i=0;i<3;i++){
        for(var j=0;j<3;j++){
            div_name[i,j] = pre[j] + suf[i];
            document.getElementById(div_name[i,j]).style.display='none';
        }
    }
    document.getElementById(form).style.display='block';
}
</script>
 
 
//AND this is the call
 
        <select onchange="javascript: display_form(document.getElementById('accao').value);" name="accao" id="accao">

hi ...

welcome to TSDN ...

try to rename the parameter of your function. may be IE handles that as a keyword ...

kind regards

na it still gives me object required =|

[HTML]<select onchange="javas cript: display_form(do cument.getEleme ntById('accao') .value);" name="accao" id="accao">[/HTML]

is equivalent to:

<select onchange="display_form(this.value);" name="accao" id="accao">

could you trace what the value is and whether the element with that id exists?

kind regards

Im sorry it works now =O would u happen to know why? whats the difference?

[gits]

what code do you use now? because i think there is no difference ... except IE may have problems when setting name and the id to equal values?

only changed this.value like u recommended

[gits]

could you try to use your old code and alert the param form as it is passed to the function? i assume it is undefined? ...
