    Programmatically fire onChange() event in Netscape

    Hi,

    I want to programatically fire an event. I have it working in IE, but
    Netscape won't work. What is the Netscape equivalent to, or a
    workaround for:

    document.myForm .myField.onchan ge();

    I've read many posts, but none seem to answer my question. Anyway, my
    example follows.

    Thanks!


    <HTML>
    <HEAD>
    <SCRIPT language=JavaSc ript>
    // <!--
    function MyFunction()
    {
    alert('MyFuncti on() fired');
    // do something...
    }

    function onload()
    {
    alert('onload() fired');
    ------------>> document.myForm .mySelectList.o nchange();
    ------------>> WHAT IS THE NETSCAPE EQUIVALENT TO THIS? This works in
    IE.
    }
    // -->
    </SCRIPT>
    </HEAD>

    <body onload="onload( )">
    <form name="myForm" method="post" action="http://www.myPage.com" >
    ...
    <select name="mySelectL ist" id="mySelectLis t"
    onChange="MyFun ction()">
    <option>
    <option value="A">blah blah blah</option>
    <option value="B">blah blah blah</option>
    </select>
    ...
    </form>
    </body>

    </HTML>

      That is correct and works in Netscape, the problem is elsewhere, see below.

      Change the name of that function something different to onload, for instance
      function loadHandler ()[color=blue]
      > {
      > alert('onload() fired');
      > ------------>> document.myForm .mySelectList.o nchange();

      then call
      <body onload="loadHan dler();">
      here and it will work.
