accessing select name attribute

[mahugl]

I am able to use the name attribute for text, textbox, checkbox, and radios but I am having trouble with select. Here is what I am trying.

for(i=0;i<document.forms[0].elements.length;i++)
{
if(document.forms[0].elements[i].type == "select")
{
stname=document.forms[0].elements[i].name;
}
}

Thanks for your help:confused:

that is not an answer. Thanks anyway. I have checked that out before I posted. There seems to be something wrong with my code.

thanks Charles for responding to my post quickly. When I was explaining why I was frustrated to my fiance I realized I didn't put the type for my select down in the form. Stupid me. Thanks again for the response and next time I will supply more of the code.
