window.f1.resul t.value=result;
}
}
</script>
[/code]

use w3c-compliant dom-methods for ALL the references to document-nodes ... for example:

[CODE=javascript]var my_form = document.getEle mentsByName('f1 ')[0];[/CODE]
when you use that methods in nearly most cases you will not have any issues regarding such referencing problems between browsers ...

kind regards

kunal, as a full member now, you should know that we expect your code to be posted in [CODE] tags (See How to Ask a Question).

This makes it easier for everyone to read and understand it. Failing to do so creates extra work for the moderators, thus wasting resources, otherwise available to answer the members' questions.

Please use the tags in future.

Replacing window.f1 with document.f1 might be enough.

[code=javascript]<script language="javas cript" type="text/javascript">
function convert()
{
var to, from;
var to_rate, from_rate;
var quantity, result;
var temp;

to=document.f1. select2.selecte dIndex;
to_rate=documen t.f1.select2.op tions[to].value;

from=document.f 1.select1.selec tedIndex;
from_rate=docum ent.f1.select1. options[from].value;

quantity=docume nt.f1.amount.va lue;

if(quantity=="" )
{
window.alert("P lz specify any amount");
document..f1.am ount.focus();
}
else if(to==from)
{
alert("Please select different currencies");
}
else
{
temp=quantity/to_rate;
result=temp*fro m_rate;
document.f1.res ult.value=resul t;
}
}
</script>
[/code]
