Changing combobox value with JS

script is inside body tag

[longboy]

hi
i am trying to change selectedIndex of a combobox but have no idea how to do that. here is code

<script language='javascript'>
seldisp = documnet.getElementById('displayed');
seldisp.selectedIndex = '1';
</script>

<form name="editpage">
<select name="displayed">
<option>Yes</option>
<option>No</option>
</select>

</form>

error:
document is undefined.

this script is inside body tag and i have to use it inside body since this is being used in PHP.

Thanks

Hello.

First off you have a misspelling. Document was spelled incorrectly. The following should work:

<script type="text/javascript">
seldisp = document.editpage.displayed;
seldisp.selectedIndex = 1;
</script>

Notice how I removed the "getElementById" method because you actually didn't specify the ID of the element, only the name. If you wanted to use what you had, it should be written like the following:

<select [b]id[/b]="displayed">

Also note that the language attribute on the script tag is invalid. Instead, use type="text/javascript" as in the example above.
