Setting FORM value using Javascript

What is supposed to happen:
A user enters data into one of the FORM input selections. When the user submits the form, the onclick
event is supposed to go to a function that will set another FORM value (SearchSel) to some number that
will be used on the next page. The javascript function 'setSelx' doesn't work in FireFox but works with the
other browsers.

Can someone help to fix this code or point me in the right direction?

Welcome to TSDN.

You haven't given an id to SearchSel. Also, where are you calling the setSelx functions?

Mar 19 '07 #2

Sorry if I didn't make it clear. When I mentioned 'setSelx', the 'x' part is an actual numeric number depending on which 'onclick' input were talkin about.

This is an example of how I am trying to call one of the events:

<input name="ItemNo2" id="ItemNo2" type="text" size="30" maxlength="15" onClick="showDiv( 'ItemNo2' ); setSel2();">

I also did try setting an ID but had no luck with FireFox. As I said, the way this code is now, it works like it should with IE and Opera, just not FireFox.
Sorry, I'm a newbie at this. I did try to find some help doing some google searches but didn't have much luck.

Yes, I did realise that. Now I've noticed your setSelx functions (after scrolling to the right).

In your code, you need to set an id to the hidden element. So
[HTML]<input name="SearchSel" type="hidden" value="1">[/HTML]
becomes
[HTML]<input id="SearchSel" name="SearchSel" type="hidden" value="1">[/HTML]

Thanks acoder! That worked great. Such a simple thing was missed and I just didn't see it.
