Post your code. Remember you have to use null for the second argument as I posted earlier.

here i am posting my code this also working in IE but not in FF my code follows


[CODE=javascript]function displayComboVal ues(comboName,c omboValue){
if(document.for mmain(comboName ).type=='select-one'){
var optn = document.create Element("OPTION ");
optn.text = comboValue;
optn.value = comboValue;
try{
document.formma in(comboName).o ptions.add(optn ,null);
}
catch(ex){
document.formma in(comboName).o ptions.add(optn );
}
document.formma in(comboName).o ptions[document.formma in(comboName).l ength-1].selected=true;
}else{
document.formma in(comboName).v alue=comboValue ;
}
}[/CODE]

Instead of [CODE=javascript]if(document.for mmain(comboName ).type=='select-one'){[/CODE] try: [CODE=javascript]if(document.for mmain[comboName].name=='select-one'){[/CODE] Surely, you mean the name, not the type.

Perhaps you could post your form HTML as well as how you are calling this function.

What's "select-one"? The type of a combo box is going to be "select".

Do you get any errors? If so, on what line?

select-one is the combobox name . we didnt get any errors . combobox working fine but the values are not displaying in the FireFox .

The name of the combo box that you're passing is "MedDirecti on0"

Ok, i know this comes a little late on the topic, but i had to comment on this.

build a select box (size=1 line)
give it some dummy options
now, add the following

onchange="alert (this.type)"

any guess what it will return? i will give you a hint, it's not "select"

it will return "select-one" and if it's a multiple select it will return... yes, you guessed it "select-multiple"

so checking on the o.type=="select-one" is perfectly valid;

just thought i would weigh in on that.

bus, did you ever solve this?

i wonder if the problem isn't the fact that you are addressing the element with the wrong indexing operator... actually i am surprised it's working in any broswer

rather then

document.formname[B]([/B]formelement[B])[/B].type==

try

document.formname[B][[/B]formElement[B]][/B].type==

note the [ rather then (

select-one is the combobox name . we didnt get any errors . combobox working fine but the values are not displaying in the FireFox .

Interesting - I didn't know that. Thanks for pointing that out.

Incidentally, I found this - silly me for not checking.

if(document.for mmain(comboName ).type=='select-one')

my main doubt is 'select-one' will work in firefox or not? if not pls tell me is there any alternative for that.

[acoder]

This reminds me of your earlier thread. Is it the same problem?

Yes after a long time again i shifteed to that problem again , what is the compatiable word to "select-one"

You still don't seem to understand, the problem has nothing to do with the type identifier.

The syntax

document.formmain(comboName)

is incorrect as it constitutes a function call not a reference. The Firefox error console must be indicating this.

if(document.formmain[B][[/B]comboName[B]][/B].type=='select-one')
