[thelist] works in IE5.0 but not in Opera/NN

[Matthias Ritzkowski]

Thanks jeff!

I also had to reference through document.myForm (oops I had not declared a
form before) so now it works in Mozilla and Opera. Phew!!

This is a result of working too long on a strictly IE Intranet project!

Cheers
Matthias

yup.  two things are likely culprits.

><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><
> var ind = lstAllAuthors.options.selectedIndex;
><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><

selectedIndex is a property of the select object, not the options.  try this
instead:

var ind = lstAllAuthors.selectedIndex;

><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><
> var idx = lstAllAuthors.options(ind).value;
><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><

options is an array.  ie is the only one that lets you access array elements
with parenthesis instead of square brackets.  try this instead:

var idx = lstAllAuthors.options[ind].value;

good luck,
