Help with script please

[tinku]

Hi
Thank you in advance for any help
Here's what I am trying to do...
I have two drop down lists location and custom form depending on location the custom form value changes.

function ChgCustForm()
{
if (window.document.main_form.location.value='X')
{
window.document.main_form.customform.value='CustformX';
}
}

no error but does slove the purpose either please help

[Bobo]

function ChgCustForm()
{
if (window.document.main_form.location.value=='X')
{
window.document.main_form.customform.value='CustformX';
}
}

it will always be true otherwise because using = instead of == acts as an operator that sets values

Hi BOBO,
I changed = to == but still it did not solve the purpose..
Please help...

Try changing "location" to a different name because it is already used for window.location and could be confusing the browser.

Cant change the name since I have no access to the source code ..
location is what I have to use ...
Is there anything else u can think of ..
Thanks for all the replies.

Try using square bracket notation:

something like this I think:

function ChgCustForm()
{
	if (window.document.main_form.elements['location'].value=='X')
	{
		window.document.main_form.customform.value='CustformX';
	}
}
