firefox specific getElementById error

[keak]

Hi there, I have the followign code segment in Javascript:

var game = document.getElementById("game").options[document.getElementById("game").selectedIndex].text;

and this works just fine in IE. But when I run this exact same code in firefox, I am getting the error

Error: document.getElementById("game") has no properties

Wondering if anyone have come accross similar problems.

why not use .value instead of .text? are you sure the ID of the element is "game", and not the NAME?

I got the same error in Firefox if I leave id='game' off of the select.

<select [b]id='game'[/b] name='game'
onchange="runthis(); return false;">
<option value="1">Chess</option>
<option value="2">Checkers</option>
<option value="3">BackGammon</option>
</select>
<script>
function runthis() {
var game = document.getElementById("game").options[document.getElementById("game").selectedIndex].text;
alert(game);
}
</script>

Make sure that is in your select statement and try it again.
