Why should the following line of code?

document.Select.docs.value =3D =09
	document.Select.docs.options
[document.DOCS.docs.selectedIndex].value;

Infact if you are using a servlet or a jsp (or even an asp for that
matter i guess),
if you say request.getParameter("docs");, it should give you the
selected value.
Try it an let me know if it fails.

Nitin

Hello all!

The following code continually gives me the following error message

 'document.Select.docs' is null or not an object

I've tried looking at this in every way for a fix but I've had zero
success.

The code is as follows:

<script LANGUAGE=3D"JavaScript">
<!--
function GetReport()
{
	document.Select.docs.value =3D =09
	document.Select.docs.options
[document.DOCS.docs.selectedIndex].value;
	document.Select.action =3D "Docs.asp"
	document.Select.submit();
}
// -->
</script>

and the call for the function from the form is ..

<FORM ID=3DSelect NAME=3DSelect ACTION=3D"Docs.asp" METHOD=3D"POST">
		  <SELECT ID=3Ddocs NAME=3Ddocs SIZE=3D"15"
onChange=3DGetReport()>
		  <OPTION VALUE=3D"Frame Relay">Frame Relay</OPTION>
		  <OPTION VALUE=3D"ISDN">ISDN</OPTION>
		  <OPTION VALUE=3D"Private Line">Private Line</OPTION>
		  <OPTION VALUE=3D"Internet">Internet</OPTION>
		  <OPTION VALUE=3D"DAL">DAL</OPTION>
		  <OPTION VALUE=3D"ATM(TLS,IMA)">ATM(TLS,IMA)</OPTION>
		  <OPTION VALUE=3D"IP VPN">IP VPN</OPTION>
		  <OPTION VALUE=3D"MNS/AMNS">MNS/AMNS</OPTION>
		  <OPTION VALUE=3D"SSASP">SASP</OPTION>
		  <OPTION VALUE=3D"Hardware">Hardware</OPTION>
		  <OPTION VALUE=3D"Telco Info">Telco Info</OPTION>
		  <OPTION VALUE=3D"Misc.">Misc.</OPTION>
		  </SELECT>

thank you in advance for your help, this has been driving my NUTS! :)
