in ns4, you cant access forms inside a layer just using document.formname but document.layers.layername.document.formname this could be little tricky, specially if you're dealing with nested layers.
fortunately, dynapi has provided us with a simple solution, just use the .doc property of your dynlayer containing the form: alert(myDynLayer.doc.selector.prov); if you arent using dynapi, access the form in ns4 with var form = is.ns4? document.layers.srollwin.document.layers.scrolltext.document.forms.selec tor.prov : document; it should do it /martin ____________________________________ harald martin ström www.burnfield.com www.pluxemburg.com > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Jurre > Sent: den 14 februari 2002 12:02 > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: [Dynapi-Help] Dynlayer Help needed!! > > > hy, > > I used de dynapi on my page to have a scrolling window for text. > > I have the following in the HTML > > <DIV name="srollwin"> > <DIV name="scrolltext"> > <FORM name="selector"> > <SELECT name="prov"> > </SELECT> > </FORM> > </DIV> > </DIV> > > The content of the SELECT must change.
