Javascript Function for data retrieved from mySQL Database with PHP

[Moritz]

We have a drop down menu that calls in product prices from a mySQL database through a PHP loop. Through a Javascript function, the prices are added up with the onChange event handler. This works fine in Netscape, Safari etc., but not at all in Internet Explorer. In Explorer, the Javascript doesn't recognise the "value" selected in the drop down menu, even though the page as it appears in the end-user's browser clearly shows the values retrieved from the database between the <option> tags of the <select> menu.

Is anyone familiar with this problem or more importantly with a solution?

Thank you very much,

You will need to post the JS code...noting that this is not a JS forum

But its likely in the way that you are defining the form

by detecting the browser with this:

// uses object detection technique to determine client browser
      var isNav4 = document.layers; // checks for Netscape Navigator 4
      var isNS6 = (document.getElementById && !document.all); // checks for Netscape 6 or higher
      var isIE4 = (document.all && !document.getElementById); // checks for Internet Explorer 4
      var isIE5 = (document.all && document.getElementById); // checks for Internet Explorer 5 or higher

then changing the code to match the browser, you should be able to get it fixed

post the HTML generated for your select dropdown and for the Javascript handler.

I can make a guess what the problem is, but would like to see the code first.
