Hello,
I am using Ajax to populate a selectbox and then pass the value to the next page. It works just fine on IE. On FIREFOX, it gives error saying 'form.thevalue' undefined. Does anybody know why?

Thanks in advance.

Just a thought that you might want to see the Ajax function:

var xmlHttp = false;
try {
xmlHttp = new XMLHttpRequest();
} catch (trymicrosoft) {
    try {
     xmlHttp = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.XMLHTTP");
    } catch (othermicrosoft) {
        try {
         xmlHttp = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
        } catch (failed) {
            xmlHttp = false;
        }
    }
}

if (!xmlHttp) {
alert("Error initializing XMLHttpRequest!");
}

function showTime(staff, date, available) {
var url="/cf/misc/GetTime.cfm?nicknm=" + staff + "&dt=" + date + "&ti=" + available
xmlHttp.open("GET", url, true);
xmlHttp.onreadystatechange = updatePage;
xmlHttp.send(null);
}

function updatePage() {
if (xmlHttp.readyState == 4) {
    if (xmlHttp.status == 200) {
     var response = xmlHttp.responseText;
     document.getElementById("timelist").innerHTML = response;
    }
    else
     alert("status is " + xmlHttp.status);
}
}

It would be better to show the code where form.value is used. Mozilla is stricter about accessing elements than IE. Show the HTML of the input element whose value you are trying to access.

Thank you Joe for replying.
I am using ColdFusion. Here's part of the form.cfm and GetTime.cfm:

form.cfm
<tr><td align=right nowrap="nowrap"><b>Signature Staff: &nbsp;</td>
    <td><select name="select_employee" id="select_employee" onchange="showTime(this.value,
         document.apptform.appointment_date.value, '');">
     <option value="All">All</option>
     <cfloop query = "GetEmployees">
            <cfif GetEmployees.EMPLOYEE_ID eq '#chg_select_employee#'>
             <cfset select = "SELECTED">
            <cfelse>
             <cfset select = "">
            </cfif>
            <cfoutput><option value="#GetEmployees.EMPLOYEE_ID#"
             #select#>#GetEmployees.NICK_NAME#</option></cfoutput>
         </cfloop>
        </select></td>
    <td align=right><b>Select Date: &nbsp;</td>
    <td><select name="appointment_date" id="appointment_date"
    onchange="showTime(document.apptform.select_employ ee.value, this.value, '');">
    <option value=''>[Select]</option>
        <cfloop list="#datelist#" index="thedate">
     <cfif thedate eq '#chg_appointment_date#'>
        <cfset select='SELECTED'>
     <cfelse>
        <cfset select=''>
     </cfif>
         <cfoutput><option value="#thedate#" #select#>#thedate#</option></cfoutput>
        </cfloop>
     </select></td>
</tr>
<tr><td align=right valign=top><b>Available Time: &nbsp;</td>
    <td valign=top><span id="TimeList">
     <select name="available_time">
        <option value=""></option>
     </select></span></td>


GetTime.cfm
<CFINCLUDE TEMPLATE="include.cfm">
<cfset timelist = arrayToList(structSort(atime, "numeric"))>
<cfset timelist1 = arrayToList(structSort(atime1, "numeric"))>

<span>
<select name="available_time">

<cfif trim(URL.nicknm) eq 'All'>
<option value=''>[Select]</option>
<cfloop list='#timelist#' index='time'>
     <cfif time EQ '#trim(url.ti)#'>
    <cfset select = 'SELECTED'>
     <cfelse>
        <cfset select = ''>
     </cfif>
    <cfoutput><option value="#atime[time]#" #select#>#time#</option></cfoutput>
</cfloop>
<cfelse>
<cfquery name="getEmployee" datasource="signatu_datasource" cachedwithin="#createTimeSpan(0,0,0,-1)#">
    select * from SIGNATU_APPOINTMENT
    where EMPLOYEE_ID = "#trim(URL.nicknm)#"
    and DATE = "#trim(URL.dt)#"
</cfquery>

<cfset tempTimeList = ValueList(getEmployee.TIME)>
<cfif getEmployee.RecordCount GT 0>
<option value=''>[Select]</option>
<cfloop list="#tempTimeList#" index="theTime">
     <cfloop list='#timelist1#' index='current_time'>
     <cfif current_time eq '#theTime#'>
         <cfset d = StructDelete(atime1, "#current_time#", "True")>
     </cfif>
     </cfloop>
</cfloop>

<cfset timelist2 = arrayToList(structSort(atime1, "numeric"))>
<cfloop list='#timelist2#' index='time2'>
     <cfif time2 EQ '#trim(url.ti)#'>
     <cfset select = 'SELECTED'>
     <cfelse>
         <cfset select = ''>
     </cfif>
     <cfoutput><option value="#atime1[time2]#" #select#>#time2#</option></cfoutput>
</cfloop>
<cfelse>
<option value=''>[Select]</option>
<cfloop list='#timelist1#' index='curr_time'>
     <cfif curr_time EQ '#trim(url.ti)#'>
     <cfset select = 'SELECTED'>
     <cfelse>
         <cfset select = ''>
     </cfif>
     <cfoutput><option value="#atime1[curr_time]#" #select#>#curr_time#</option></cfoutput>
</cfloop>
</cfif>
</cfif>
</select>
</span>

When I pass #form.available_time# to the next page, I got error on FireFox, 'form.available_time' undefined.
