Help with Firefox/IE Differences

[sanfly]

Can anyone tell me why this would work in Firefox but not IE?

 

document.getElementById('g_region').innerHTML = '<option value="NULL"> SELECT REGION ' + result;

thats strange, its normally the other way around, javascript not working in firefox.

 

The coding looks fine to me although I am a Javascript beginner. It could depend on what version of IE you are using.

Your code looks fine to me. Only thing that could be wrong is that your variable result is empty or the code before this line has errors. I use javascript DOM allot and your code is correct

Thanks for the replies

 

I ended up figuring it out

 

the problem is that IE does not handle the innerHTML of Select tags properly.  For some reason it loses the first <option> tag. 

 

You can get around it by using java script to add additional options individually, or do what I did and put the whole select tag inside a span tag, and change the inner HTML of that.
