RE: select boxes and javascript

[Lofback, Chris]

It works for me.  But you must actually select a different option or the onChange event will not fire.  So if "For Sale" is selected and you pull down the list and select "For Sale" again, nothing will happen because nothing changed...

Thanks for that Chris and Tom,

I think i went over my head as i found this script at http://developer.apple.com/internet/webcontent/examples/choose_form_source.html which seemed to work pretty cool. (Example of it working is at http://developer.apple.com/internet/webcontent/examples/choose_form.html).

I thought i'd try and change the script so instead of using radio buttons it would use a dropdown box... that's where all my troubles started! :)

I tried your code Chris but nothing happened, no errors either.

Am I missing something (apart from _javascript_ knowledge!).

Stuart
