    getElementByID problems in Firefox

    This works fine in IE6.

    monDoc = document.getEle mentById('tbMon th');
    mon = monDoc.value;

    But Firefox doesn't recognize the value property. What works in FF?

      Probably because IE doesn't know the difference between a NAME attribute
      and an ID attribute.
      monDoc = document.getEle mentById('tbMon th');
      mon = monDoc.value;

      Without seeing your HTML, that is impossible to answer.

      You probably have an input with a name attribute of "tbMonth". If so,
      use the form collection to access it:

      document.forms['formIDnotName'].elements['elementNAMEnot ID'].value;

      Or, change your attribute from name to ID, or use both.

          Thanks Randy, I added the id attribute so it has both name and id, and
          all works fine.
