[RESOLVED] Dropdown box to switch CSS files problem.

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Mar 04.2009

Hello All,

I have the following code in a webpage:

[code]
<form name=”list”>
<select name=”sheets” onchange=”setActiveStyleSheet(document.list.sheets.options[document.list.sheets.selectedIndex].value); return false;”>
<option selected value=”test”>Test
<option value=”test2″>Test2
<option value=”test3″>Test3
</select>
[/code]

So far so good, this code works!
but.. it’s not XHTML strict compliant.
How can I make it so that this is completely XHTML compliant?

If I change the “name” into “id” and use the getItemById the code doesn’t work anymore. (could be because I did something wrong.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

&lt;div&gt;
&lt;select name="sheets" onchange="setActiveStyleSheet(this.value); return false;"&gt;
&lt;option selected="selected" value="test"&gt;Test&lt;/option&gt;
&lt;option value="test2"&gt;Test2&lt;/option&gt;
&lt;option value="test3"&gt;Test3&lt;/option&gt;
&lt;/select&gt;
&lt;/div&gt; <br/>
&lt;/form&gt;

@amarthauthorMar 04.2009 — Just one more question...

If I were to make it an onclick instead of onchange by removind the onchange and adding:

<i>
</i>&lt;INPUT type="button" name="go" value="Go!" onClick="setActiveStyleSheet(document.getelementbyid(list).value); return false;"&gt;


This doesn't work... and I think I know why... because I'm not getting the value. How can I get the value from the list ?
