Frustrated with listboxes in IE

I have this function that works perfectly well in Firefox but failes in IE. It’s suppouse to read a text value of the option and then stick it into the hidden field.

Any ideas how to make it work in both browsers ?

[code]
function agentNameFunc(){
var agentNameVar=agent.options[agent.selectedIndex].text;
var campNameVar=project.options[project.selectedIndex].text;
document.getElementById(“agentName”).value=agentNameVar;
document.getElementById(“projectName”).value=campNameVar;
}
[/code]

@phpnoviceJun 28.2006 — This assumes a certain default scoping:

var agentNameVar=agent.options[agent.selectedIndex].text;

Different browsers have a different default scoping depending upon the context.

If you have a FORM tag then, cross-browser, the above should be as follows:

var agentNameVar=document.myFormName.agent.options[document.myFormName.agent.selectedIndex].text;
