RE: help with drop-downs and onChange

[Tyler Clendenin]

I use one of two ways, but i prefer it to use the event object.


ex.
<select name="select1" id="select1"
>   blah blah
</select>

<select name="select2" id="select2"
>   blah blah
</select>

function setDept()
{
    mySelect = event.srcElement;
    if(mySelect.selectedIndex != 0) {
        myindex=mySelect.selectedIndex;
        var document.frm.hidselect.value = mySelect.options[myindex].value;
    }
    return true;
}

Subject: help with drop-downs and onChange

I have two select boxes (drop-down boxes) in my form,
they both have a different onChange function. I want
both the drop downs to call the same function.

<select name="select1" id="select1"
>   blah blah
</select>

<select name="select2" id="select2"
>   blah blah
</select>

Hope I am making sense.

Here is my code.
function setDept1()
{
  if (document.frm.select1.selectedIndex != 0) {
     myindex=document.frm.select1.selectedIndex;
     var document.frm.hidselect.value =
document.frm.select1.options[myindex].value;
     return true;
    }
}

How do I pass the name of the drop-down box to the
function and then assign the selected option value to
a hidden variable. Can anybody please help me get
round this problem.
Best regards,
cfcoder
