javascript heads,
the DOM is not my friend. I want it to be. have even invited it for beers a few times. but no good.
here's my problem:
I have a hidden field whose values are populated by a SQL query. Those values in turn are brought into an array in a javascript that randomly displays the values in a slick little fade in / fade out manner. All is well with the ever forgiving IE. However, it does not jive with a single solitary other browser out there. Which leads me to believe its an error in how I am adressing the field through the DOM. this is the string I am using to get the values in question:
document.forms['poparray'].elements['munipop'](i).value
the (i) is a variable that denotes the number of items in the array. The full source and the script in action (IE only) is available at:

(its the little box on the bottom right)
can someone tell me where I am going awry?
Thanks,

PSS> on the off chance .jeff remembers schooling me on the DOM problem I was having last time, please dont beat me up for being thick headed...
