Changing code

[K Robert]

I have the following:

setValue(document.forms['CONFIG'].elements['CallerName'],cookies["CallerName"]);

Origially, this was used to grab the value of a radio button, but I needed to change this to a listbox. Can I use the same code for a <select> if I name the <select> "callerName" and I keep the "value=" attributes the same for the listbox as I did for the radio buttons?

var sel = forms['CONFIG'].elements['CallerName'];
var strValue = sel.options[sel.selectedIndex].value;
var strText = sel.options[sel.selectedIndex].text;

Great thanks! But, how do I select the right value to display in the listbox base on the variable name?

[Eric Pascarello]

loop through the options, read the value, then select when found.

var sel = forms['CONFIG'].elements['CallerName'];
for(var i=0;sel.options.length;i++){
  if(sel.options[i].value==strValue){
    sel.options[i].slected = true;
    break;
  }
}
