hello everyone,
I am trying to use the focus methods and select methods in a selection list.
below is the code for everyone to help me see why it does not highlight the wages when i click yes or no.

some words may be spelled differently to be shown on javaranch.

Hi Eric,
You know I am doing distance learning, I have done java and now on the javascript part.
the code i have above is direct from what they are teaching me, but the material is made by a differnt company, they just use the program, if you get what i mean.
so what I did is straight from the material, so I don't understand what you mean by you don't use select like that?

from my knowledge, I do not think there is a select() built-in function
there is: document.forms[0].dropDownName.selectedIndex = 1

There is no slect method on "SELECT" element
2 select methods exist:
1.Highlights the input area of a form element on TEXTAREA and INPUT
2.Makes the selection equal to the current object - on TextRange and controlRange
 
Don't get me started about those stupid light bulbs.
