IE selectedIndex problem

[Johan Daine]

Hi everyone,
I have a main page (search engine) that pops up a window in wich the
user can select a keyword in a select box (up to 4 keywords)
The on change attribute of the select tag calls the following function:


function addKeyword()
{
theindex = document.f2.ini t.options.selec tedIndex;
item = document.f2.ini t.options[theindex].value;
// alert(theindex + ': ' + item);
if(item=='')
{
return;
}
cnt = window.opener.d ocument.f1.kwd. value;
kword = 'window.opener. document.f1.mot _cle_'+ cnt + '.value=\'' + item +
'\'';
eval(kword);
window.opener.d ocument.f1.mot_ cle_1=item;
cnt = (cnt% 4) +1;
// alert('cnt= " + cnt);
window.opener.d ocument.f1.kwd. value = cnt ;
//alert(window.op ener.document.f 1.kwd.value);
}
// kwd is a hidden field in the main page
// f2 is the popup form
// f1 is the main page form


The problem is that although this code works on
Opera 7.2*, Mozilla 1.0.0 (linux)
and Mozilla (?.?) on Win98
I am not able to get a reasonable value for 'item' in the instruction
item = document.f2.ini t.options[theindex].value;
in IE6.0
Has someone already got this problem... has found some clue?


Thanks
Johan Daine

this function is declared in page opened in the popup ?
item, cnt, kword are declared as global variables ? that could help...

1) f2 et f1 sont bien des noms ? et non pas des ids ?
forms are named with 'f1' & 'f2' ? or are they id ?

2) and with :
theindex = document.forms['f2']['init'].options.select edIndex;
or
theindex = document.forms['f2'].elements['init'].options.select edIndex;
or (après tout, il n'y a qu'1 form et 1 select , non ?)
item = document.forms[0][0].options.select edIndex;
what does IE ?
[color=blue]
> item = document.f2.ini t.options[theindex].value;[/color]

3) et bien sûr :
item = document.forms['f2'].elements['init'].options[theindex].value;

4) si ça ne marche pas employer le code de IE ?
if(document.all ) { // to be adapted
item=init.optio ns[options.selecte dIndex].value; }

Use the usual maner ?
<select blabla
onchange=" R = this.options.se lectedIndex;
if(R==0) alert('Do an other choice')
else
opener.document .forms['f2']['kword'].value=this.opt ions[R].value;
">
