Getelementsbyname In Update Form

[quinnygdn]

I have a test script in a submit form which gets the latest text value of a dropdown and puts it into another field dynamically using onmouseover. Virtual2 has the dropdown table.

 

************

<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">
document.getElementById('Submit').onmouseover = function()
{
var hour = (document.getElementById('cbParamVirtual2').value);

document.getElementById('InsertRecordLastallocagent').value = "Hello " + hour;
};
</script></body></html>

**************

 

When I try to use a similar script in an Update form -

I change to "Insert" "Edit"

ElementById to ElementsByName [0]

and I've set up a checkbox Virtual2 which triggers the input to Lastallocagent

but it gives me "Hello" + the first (default) entry in the dropdown table in Virtual1 rather than changing to the agent I select from the dropdown

 

*********

<script>
var hour = (document.getElementsByName('cbParamVirtual1')[0].value);

document.getElementById('cbParamVirtual2').onchange= function g_date()
{
document.getElementById('EditRecordLastallocagent').value = "hello" + hour;
};
</script>
***************

 

I've been at it all day - any help would be appreciated

 

Thanks

Is the value and display the same on dropdown?
