Thanks kangax,
I tried renaming the names as you suggested but it's still the same
thing. In Firefox it works, in IE it doesn't. If I change the
following line:
Event.observe('events', 'change', function (e) {
To observe one of the input elements instead
Event.observe('event1', 'change', function (e) {
It works in both IE and Firefox. Upon some further reading I found
from this document:
http://www.w3.org/TR/DOM-Level-2-Events/events.html
That it looks like "change" isn't valid for ol elements. So shame on
Firefox I guess? I'll try observing the form and update the event
details when it's submitted, hopefully that will work.
