[RESOLVED] JavaScript Error or php?

1042

Hi all, i have this code that works without any problems on FireFox, but when i use IE i get the following error:

Line:248
Char: 7
Error: 'sState.options' is null ot not an object
Code:0

why would this happen only on IE?, attached is the code

any help pointing me to the right direction would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

Its not a php error.

And it is a Javascript error. The reason you're getting this error? You're referencing forms[0], when you're actually in the second form on the page (index 1). Likewise for the sCounty JS variable right below sState.

Uh... I don't know how to state it any simpler.

There are two forms on the page. The SELECT elements you're after are in the second form. Since arrays start at index #0, the second form would be located in index 1.

He means you need forms[1] in your statement, in place of forms[0]. The forms array is a native array in javascript, meaning you can reference it without declaring it 1st. 0 gives you the 1st form on the page, 1 gives you the 2nd, etc.
