Those variable don't really need to be global.
function getValue(form, optionName,hiddenValue) {
s = form.elements[optionName];
for(i = 0;i < s.options.length;i++) {
if(s.options[i].value == hiddenValue) {
s.options[i].selected = true;
break;
}
}
}

Its been a while..
try the index or hardcode the form name like before in case it doesn't
like the form object being passed as an argument...
function getValue(formName,elementName,value) {
s = document.forms[formName].elements[elementName];
..

I get that error when I pass the element name only !!
function getValue(form, optionName,hiddenValue) {
s = form.elements[optionName];
for(i = 0;i < s.options.length;i++) {
if(s.options[i].value == hiddenValue) {
s.options[i].selected = true;
break;
}
}
}
optionName is the element name and the error "elements.optionName is not null or an object" when I try to use s.options.length...

You can specify an index or the name of the element.
Likewise with the array of forms in the page.. Some folks prefer using
the
document.myform.myelement

But you can use the element name also.

Re: [ot] Re: question on javascript...
Posted by Jeff Kyser <kt...@comcast.net>.
form.elements is an array, and you'd have to specify
it by index:
s = form.elements[i];
where i was a supplied integer in the range 0..form.elements.length-1,
or
s = form.optionName;
if 'optionName' was a valid name for a form element.

Re: [ot] Re: question on javascript...
Posted by Jacob Wilson <st...@yahoo.com>.
Thanks for the help Mark... when I do this, it says elements.optionName is not null or an object... Any clue??? Thanks!

function getValue(form, optionName,hiddenValue) {
s = form.elements[optionName];
for(i = 0;i < s.options.length;i++) {
if(s.options[i].value == hiddenValue) {
s.options[i].selected = true;
break;
}
}
}
onsomeformevent="getValue(this.form,'foo','bar')"
Cheers Mark
