label element and select

[bigoldbulldog]

Hi -

I have a label element with for="some_select_list". Whenever the label is clicked the select goes into focus. The problem is that the selectedIndex always returns to zero when I want it unchanged.

Any ideas how to have the selectedIndex remain unchanged?

Thank you. Cheers,
ND

You could change your label to a link that sets the focus to the select box and that has style to make it look like regular text. You could also add onmouseover="window.status='';return true" to keep anything from showing up in the status bar.

I solved this with an onClick event. I changed

<th><label for=&quot;site&quot;>Site</label></th>

to

<th onClick=&quot;document.all.chooser.site.focus()&quot;>Site</th>

Now I get focus on the chooser form's site-select element when users click the header. Cheers,
