need help with setting select

I’m trying to set the selected value of a pulldown on a form. I think there is a problem with this syntax

[CODE]for(s = 0; s < document.getElementById(‘dozen[‘ + i + ‘]’).length; index++) {
if(document.getElementById(‘dozen[‘ + i + ‘]’)[s].value == selectedDozen){
document.getElementById(‘dozen[‘ + i + ‘]’).selectedIndex = s;
}
}
[/CODE]

Any help?

@JMRKERJun 26.2010 — You code is somewhat confusing to me ... ?

What does a sample element of 'dozen[?]' look like?

Are you trying to set multiple values of the elements "selectedIndex"?

What is the value of the variable 'i' and where is it initialized/changed?

And where does the 'index' variable come from and why increment it instead of i++ in the loop?

</i>document.getElementById('dozen[' + i + ']').length

There may not exist something like that. The id must be unique on document, thus you can not have more than a single element with a certain id.

Success!
