@UltimaterAug 19.2005 — Giving you an error because you left out the final [b]}[/b] after the [b]return x;[/b] statement. ?

It's basically a document.getElementById function and document.getElementsByName function in one that is very specific as to which frame/window it is searching for what. In the end, it returns the element found.

To call the function [b]MM_findObj(n, d)[/b] the [b]n[/b] is a string either the ID of a tag element or the NAME of a tag element within a form. The [b]d[/b] part is optional as to the document to search for the tags.

Success!
