onChange event handeler in IE 6.x 1

[RennyB]

I wrote a simpe script that will disable a group of <select> form elements based on the value on another <select>. Works fine in Opera and FF, but in IE 6.x I can make the function fire once, but if I change the select option again nothing happens. Here's the function.

function disableDelay(){
if (document.connectionType.periodicUpdates.value=="No"){
document.connectionType.updateDelay.disabled=true;
} else document.connectionType.updateDelay.disabled=false;

Here's where I call the funtion.

<select name="periodicUpdates" onChange=disableDelay() >
<option <%=(synchronizationSettingBoolean) ? "selected" : ""%> >Yes</option>
<option <%=(synchronizationSettingBoolean) ? "" : "selected"%> >No</option>
</select>

Any ideas on how to make this work in IE?

Provide VALUE attributes for your options.

<option <%=(synchronizationSettingBoolean) ? "selected" : ""%> [!]value='Yes'[/!]>Yes</option>
<option <%=(synchronizationSettingBoolean) ? "" : "selected"%> [!]value='No'[/!]>No</option>

Thanks! That fixed it.

Good! I guess Opera and FF must default their VALUEs to the option-text if the VALUE is not specified. Good to know!

Thanks for the star...
