how can i use 'onChange' event on ie (radio and select)

Hi all,

I was trying to display items dinamically in my form according to selected options in some radios and dropdown lists (<input type="radio" and select-options).

The deal is that the code i'm using works fine for firefox and safari, but under ie it doesn't.

I have different divs tags that i populate according with selected values. I'm attaching some code to show you how i'm using this.

Thx a lot for the help

Regards,

Daniel Peralta

    }
	function getSelected(newdiv,sel)
	{	
  		var value = sel.options[sel.selectedIndex].value;

wktang83 thx for the post, it works perfect also on ie 7 and i'll test it also in ie 6...

Finally do u know why i'm getting the message to activate 'active x' controls? and how can i disable it just to this page?

Thanks again

This is because you are opening the html file locally (It is stored in your computer).

If the html file is loaded from the internet it won't prompt you for the activeX control thing.

Here are some more information about this problem I found online:

This security message only occurs if you are viewing web pages directly from your hard drive. For example,C:\myFiles\myFile.htm. (Ref. 178644)

As part of the XP SP2 Local Machine zone lockdown, Internet Explorer on XP SP2 blocks active content and scripting that tries to run in the Local Machine zone. Attackers have tried to take advantage of the Local Machine zone, so Microsoft has tightened the restrictions on what can run in this zone by default.
