I have a dynamic table that I built using for statments that lies in a form. For the submit button, I am calling a function from the head. Here is the function..

var changecounter;
function change()
    {
        for(changecounter=0; changecounter < window.parent.ID.length; changecounter++)
        {
            var boolvalue = window.parent.ID[changecounter][4];
            bOptionSet(window.parent.type,window.parent.ID[changecounter][0],frmAlert.boolvalue.value);
            switch (sOptionLastStatus())
            {
                case "OK":
                    break;
                case "NS":
                    alert("You currently do not have the security to update system option " + window.parent.ID[changecounter][1] + ". To proceed, go to the Eagle Browser and sign on as a user with security to update Options Configuration.");
                    break;
                case "NO":
                    alert("Unknown Error occurred while attempting to change " + window.parent.ID[changecounter][1] + ". Please make a note of what you were doing when this error occurred, and send it in an email to [email protected].");
                    break;
                default:
                    alert("Unknown Error occurred while attempting to change " + window.parent.ID[changecounter][1] + ". Please make a note of what you were doing when this error occurred, and send it in an email to [email protected].");
                    break;
            }
        }
    }

I am getting the error that frmAlert.boolvalue.value is null or not an object. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

So... what is frmAlert supposed to be?

Ahh.... I'm tired, it's probably a form, right?

Is frmAlert the ID of the form?

Try this instead:

document.forms.frmAlert.boolvalue.value

Is boolvalue the ID of an input?

frmAlert is the ID of the form.

boolvalue is a variable defined as follows...

var boolvalue = window.parent.ID[changecounter][4];

The above corresponds to boolean drop down boxes within the dynamic form. Basically it is the name of the boolean boxes.

Clay Hess

You remember how I said I'm tired?

I completely missed this line:
var boolvalue = window.parent.ID[changecounter][4];

LOL. My apologies.

OK, so let me get this straight. You are referring to a form that is in the parent frame. So what exactly is ID? Sorry if this is another dumb question.

Are you expecting to find a defined variable as an element(?) of a form?

Thanks for your patience :-)

Snib,

No problem on being tired. I know what it is like coding all day...LOL.

Here is what I am doing. I have an external js file tied to the parent frame. I am using a for statement to build a dynamic table in a form using info from the external js file that is tied to the parent frame. I have function called change() that is also using a for statement to submit the values of boolean dropdowns in the table. These drop downs are assigned names dynamically from the external js file attached to the parent. I am attempting to use those dynamic names in my change() code, but it is giving me the error described previously. Thoughts?


Clay Hess

Snib,

Do you think I am getting the error because the boolean drop down box is created dynamically?

Clay Hess

Wouldn't you use the ID instead of the NAME to reference the drop down?

HTH,

Snib

Yes I am agreed with the Snib I think he is using ID instead of the NAME to reference the drop down
If so then change the Id into name

Love 4 all
