Change select from other select

[Brian]

I am able to change what is selected in one select box when changing the selection
in another select box using the onChange event in IE, but it does not work
in Netscape. By passing
a value to the following line of code, it does nothing in Netscape:

document.general.SelectObjectName.options.value = passedValue;

How can I get this to work in Netscape and IE?

Thanks,

Brian

Just a guess, but it looks like you're missing an index value. The code
should be:
document.general.SelectObjectName.options[index].value = passedValue;

The correct syntax is:
document.formName.selectName.options[document.formName.selectName.selectedIndex].value

where you have to change "formName" and "selectName" to respectively the
names of your form and select box.
