form validation + text replace works in IE but not Firefox

[garp]

Hi everyone,

This is part of a JS file that checks the form submission to make sure that certain options have been selected. I've added the if section which will modify the form input string (replace "GKEY" with "TKEY") if the user has selected a particular option (127, 126 or 133).

This works fine in IE but Netscape / Firefox will only do the checking, not the string replacement. Is there anything in my added code that the mozilla browser does not recognize as valid?

Any insight would be greatly appreciated! Much thanks.

if(dml.pm_CL[i].checked)
{
rb = true; //as long as one is chosen this is set to true
if (dml.pm_CL.value=('127'||'126'||'133')) //get automatic search index based on collection selected
{
dml.pm_SC.value="TKEY";
}

I gather that dml.pm_CL is a checkbox. I also gather that there are more than one checkbox with the same name. IE may allow you to short cut the DOM to get to objects, but NS/Moz/Firefox does not. If you use an alert to show dml.pm_CL.value, you might get some insight. You will have to step through the "value" parameters just like you are stepping through the "checked" parameters.

Also,
if (dml.pm_CL.value=('127'...is not a comparison, but an equate. You would be setting dml.pm_CL.value to the result of OR'ing the three strings. You probably wanted "==", not "=" there.
