[Netscape] Get values from selectbox

[320rwekfpl]

This code works fine in IE, but I just cannot find a way to make it work in Netscape. Does anyone know why?

function sendInfo2(formVar,box)
{
formVar.length = 0;
var strValue = new String();

for(var i=0; i<box.length; i++)
{
strValue += box[i].value;

if (i < box.length-1)
{
strValue += "<br>";
}
}
formVar.value = strValue;
}

[beetle]

Can you show me what parameters are being passed to formVar and box?

[320rwekfpl]

i'm trying to send a selectbox into a hidden field and these are the parameters that i send to the script;

sendInfo2(document.shop.data3,window.frames["cart"].document.c1.s3)

[glenngv]

function sendInfo2(formVar,box)
{
var strValue = "";

for(var i=0; i<box.options.length; i++)
{
strValue += box.options[i].value;

if (i < box.options.length-1)
{
strValue += "<br>";
}
}
formVar.value = strValue;
}

[320rwekfpl]

Doesn't work. Is there another way to get all values of a selectbox? (it even stopped working in IE...)?

[glenngv]

it depends on how and when you call that function. are the parameters correct?

sendInfo2(document.shop.data3,window.frames["cart"].document.c1.s3)

if you want to test if the parameters are objects
put these alerts at the start of the function:

alert(formVar)
alert(box)

it should display [object]

[320rwekfpl]

yes. i call it in body onload. it's confusing... i might as well post the whole page;

[glenngv]

why do you have so many similar functions.
the function sendInfo() is already generic with the elements objects as parameters. you can call it many times each time passing different arguments.

did you put:

alert(box)

what does it say?

[320rwekfpl]

I was having problems with the generic method. Maybe I should take a look at it now. Anyway, I found out that the script didn't malfunction... The problem was that I had called the selects with window instead of parent. Anyway, thanks for the help!
