Stephen, a little more information should you not have resolved this as of
yet. Opera6.0 tells me you have a javascript error:
        Value on left hand side of "." is not convertible to Object:
document.tickertape

I don't do much js so I can't really add anything to help unravel the
meaning beyond pointing out idiosyncracies of IE.  Why IE accepts it and not
Opera is usually a matter of syntax. IE still tends to avoid the w3c
standard for DOM.

Subject: [wdvltalk] adressing field values through the DOM


> javascript heads,
>   the DOM is not my friend.  I want it to be.  have even invited it for
beers a few times.  but no good.
> here's my problem:
>   I have a hidden field whose values are populated by a SQL query.  Those
values in turn are brought into an array in a javascript that randomly
displays the values in a slick little fade in / fade out manner.  All is
well with the ever forgiving IE.  However, it does not jive with a single
solitary other browser out there.  Which leads me to believe its an error in
how I am adressing the field through the DOM.  this is the string I am using
to get the values in question:
> 
> document.forms['poparray'].elements['munipop'](i).value
> 
> the (i) is a variable that denotes the number of items in the array.  The
full source and the script in action (IE only) is available at:
