Code does not work in Internet Explorer, but it does in FireFox

**Dudeman456** · Aug 19th, 2005, 03:38 PM

This is code allows for what is selected in Drop-Down boxes to appear in a text box next to it, if they select a second thing, it will also appear in that text box, it works in Firefox, but not Internet Explorer.

<script>
function addOption(x,x2) {
sOption=document.getElementById(x2).value;
sOptions=sOption.split("\n");
if (sOption == '') {document.getElementById(x2).value=x+"\n";}
else { if (sOptions.length > 1) {document.getElementById(x2).value=sOption+x+"\n";}
else {document.getElementById(x2).value=sOption+"\n"+x+"\n";}
}
document.getElementById(x2).focus();
}
</script>

What happens in IE?

**Disiance** · Aug 20th, 2005, 12:48 PM

could you post the rest of the page's code too? I have MS's script debugger that alerts to any errors in code from IE.

This is the code in use right now, when I tested it before I sent it , it worked in IE, but it does not seem to work when it is in actual use. Its copied from the actual page.
