[thelist] Another Netscape problem

[Jagjeet Hayer]

Ok, here goes.  The select box is dynamically populated from a servlet. I
then need to retrieve one of these values depending on what the user selects
from another select box which is displayed on the screen.

So I want the first select box to be hidden because it is there purely as a
data element.

So my problems have been that IE and Netscape use different ways of hiding
fields, and that IE and Netscape use different DOM paths to retrieve the
information because I thought of using layers as a way to solve the issue
with Netscape.

So I am using code like:

if (vertype()=="ie")
{
	fieldvalue =
document.form1.select1.options[document.form1.select2.selectedIndex].value;
}

if (vertype()=="nav")
{
	fieldvalue =
document.ilayer1.document.layer1.document.form1.select1.options[document.for
m1.select2.selectedIndex].value;
}


But this doesn't work.

So its all a bit of a mess at the moment.

Don't know if this helps or has just confused even more.
