hi

I have an array called aTrusts , and I need to take values from this array and bung them into a form field, depending on the value of a combo box.

This is the function I'm using to do this, and I get an "object expected" error on it every time - I've tried everything and it's still wrong...

any ideas?

function setValues(sel)
{
val = sel.options[sel.selectedIndex].value;
x = 0;
for (i=0; i<aTrusts.length; i++)
{
if (aTrusts[i][0] == val) {
comp = aTrusts[i][10];
x = 1
}
}
if (x == 1)
{
document.forms[0].InvAddress.value = comp;
}
else {
alert ("Value not found");
}
}



The function is called by onchange="(setValues(this)" on the combo box.

well, I'm sure u don't wanna see all 403 array rows lol, but here's the code with a couple of example rows

<Script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
var aTrusts = new Array()
aTrusts[0] = new Array('recordID','addressLine1,'addressLine2','addressLine3','addressLine4','addressLine5','addressL ine6','postcode');
aTrusts[1] = new Array('recordID1','addressLine1,'addressLine2','addressLine3','addressLine4','addressLine5','address Line6','postcode');
function setValues(sel)
{
val = sel.options[sel.selectedIndex].value;
x = 0;
for (i=0; i<aTrusts.length; i++)
{
if (aTrusts[0] == val) {
comp = aTrusts[i][10];
x = 1
}
}
if (x == 1)
{
document.forms[0].InvAddress.value = comp;
}
else {
alert ("Value not found");
}
}


</script>


[I]And this is where the function is called:

<select name="trust" id="trust" onChange="setValues(this);">
<option value="R50418">135 Bishopsgate Limited&nbsp;(R50418)</option>

<option value="recordID">name</option>
<option value="recordID1">name1</option>
<option value="recordID2">name2</option>
etc
etc
</select>

You still haven't given us enough information. Post the URL, please. In particular I would be interested to see if InvAddress really exists. And knowing what line is throwing the error would be helpful.

InvAddress does exist.

But If you'd like to see the whole thing, here it is (please note, I have removed most of the array and option box values, as there are 403 rows of each, and they're not necessary to understand the page.

Here you go.

You've dropped a couple of quote marks there but I cannot figure out how to trigger the problem that you described. And there is no "Add New" to click. I really think that it would be better if you just posted a url.

I only to a quick glance but one question

comp = aClients[i][10];

When aClients only has 8 elements 0 to 7 in the second deminsion.
