Hi,
Thanks Brendan and Aby for the reply.
It was'nt working when I started writing this post then I tried
some thing and it worked. I notice two things-
1. My browsers (NA 4.5 and IE 4.0) does'nt like the notation-
onClick = document.formName.elements[\"btCompany_onWebEvent(btCompany)\"].click();
return false;
It works when I write-
onClick = document.formName.elements[4].click(); return false;
It does'nt seem to recognize \".
2. If I put the working code in a function and call the function
it does nothing. Wierd!
Any way atleast I have some thing working, thanks to you guys.
