Javascript firing in IE, but not Mozilla, and Netscape 1

[PaulTEG]

Could anyone shed light on what might be the issue here. The code works in IE6, but doesn't appear to fire in Mozilla, and Netscape

function PT_update_height() {
 var a=["38","40", "42", "44", "46", "48", "50", "52", "54"];
    for (var i=0; i < order.height.length; i++) {
      if (order.height[i].checked) {
        order.height_details.value=a[i];
      }
    }
  }

function MM_callJS(jsStr) { //v2.0
  return eval(jsStr);
}

<input type="hidden" name="dress_details" value="notset" />

              <tr>
                <td width="11%"><div align="center"><input type="radio" name="height" onClick="MM_callJS('PT_update_height()')"></div></td>
                <td width="11%"><center><input type="radio" name="height" onClick="MM_callJS('PT_update_height()')"></center></td>
                <td width="11%"><center><input type="radio" name="height" onClick="MM_callJS('PT_update_height()')"></center></td>

                <td width="11%"><center><input type="radio" name="height" onClick="MM_callJS('PT_update_height()')"></center></td>
                <td width="11%"> <center><input type="radio" name="height" onClick="MM_callJS('PT_update_height()')"></center></td>
                <td width="11%"> <center><input type="radio" name="height" onClick="MM_callJS('PT_update_height()')"></center></td>
                <td width="11%"> <center><input type="radio" name="height" onClick="MM_callJS('PT_update_height()')"></center></td>
                <td width="11%"> <center><input type="radio" name="height" onClick="MM_callJS('PT_update_height()')"></center></td>
                <td width="11%"> <center><input type="radio" name="height" onClick="MM_callJS('PT_update_height()')"></center></td>

              </tr>

Many thanks

Where is "order" defined? Do you have a URL we could have a look at? Or try posting your complete page...

One thing I've noticed, is that you have a hidden field called "dress_details", however, in your PT_update_height function, you are updating a field called "height_details".

It's the second page, with the radio buttons for height, select UCL, college award

dress/height that was a typo on my part

The pages are being generated by Perl, though that shouldn't make a difference

Thanks for your time

How would we recognise the fact that the event isn't firing in Moz / NS? The JS console shows no errors, and nothing noticable happens when you click the radio buttons.

My only suggestion is to change this:

var order=document.order;

to this:

var order=document.forms['order'];

which is far more compliant with most browsers, and AFAIK, more correct DOM-wise.

Hope this helps,
Dan

I got away with the first option, thanks for your time, have a *
