Eval Function

[sucram]

Hi

i was using this code
eval('document.configForm.' + orderDropDown[0] + '.selectedIndex')
and it worked fine but now I keep getting the error
Error: Expected ';' in IE
and
missing ; before statement.

document.configForm.1893_order.selectedIndex
...................^
in Netscape

Does anyone know what is wrong here. The array holds Strings that refer to a valid drop down menu

Thanks,
Marcus

try this:
strng='document.configForm.' + orderDropDown[0] + '.selectedIndex'
alert(strng)
eval(strng)

Your form field name is &quot;1893_order&quot;. You can't have a form field name that begins with a number.

Also, you don't need to use eval. You can do this:
document.configForm[orderDropDown[0]].selectedIndex
