onClick() not working in IE

[paladaxar]

Another classic "my page works in FF but not in IE". I cant figure it out.

Here's my code:

Choose a location:
<form action='process_select_location.php' method="post" name="the_form">
LINE 180 >><select name="contenent" id='first' size="10" onClick="selection(this.value)">
<option value='africa'>Africa ></option>
<option value='asia'>Asia ></option>
<option value='europe'>Europe ></option>
<option value='north america'>North america ></option>
<option value='south america'>South america ></option>
</select>



When I try to run this page in FF, it runs flawlessly. In IE, I get the following error:

Line: 180
Char: 1
Error: Object doesnt suppor this action
Code: 0
URL: mypage.com

What's up with that?

Microsoft has a selection object.

In general, try to steer clear of proper nouns and verbs when naming things.
Call it mySelection or showSelection or something like that.

Wow...great...thank you. That fixed the problem. Now I just have to figure out how to write some CSS that will show up the same in both FF and IE.
