Question posted by: Mike Brown (Guest) on July 20th, 2005 09:33 AM
Please look at this section of my code. I am tryong to call the checkMonth
function if the year selected is the current year. I tested the value being
passed to the checkYear function and that is working. I seem to hava a
problem with the syntax when I call the checkMonth() from the checkYear
function? The rest of the site is coming along nicely. I am new but I am
working hard to learn. Please help. Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks, Mike

function checkYear(myYear)

Hi,

"this" does not have the scope that you obviously expect from it here.
Try:

var myValue = document.forms["myform"].selectMonth.selectedIndex;

Instead of
var myValue = this.selectMonth.selectedIndex;



put
var myValue=document.forms['myform'].selectMonth.selectedIndex
