Coldfusion site: Cascading lists don't work in Chrome and Firefox
I have a coldfusion site that I've inherited that was developed several years ago. It is still mostly functional but for some of the pages within the site...The search/filter function does not work as expected. I have cascading lists that work as expected in IE but when I select for example the Project as the first drop-down list value the second list that is filtered on the first does not populate any options for my users.
Can anyone think of why this might be? Do I need to post some code or maybe someone else who has developed in coldfusion will know how this could occur?
Thanks for any feedback!

Is there any java script associated with the search Functionality.
If yes, is it using the document.all property which is only supported by IE, show you search code and let's see how things are going
The above may be one issue, i am just guessing as i have not sen any code so i cannot suggest, how it will work

Do I need to post some code
Yes. From It sounds like it might be a javascript issue, rather than CF, but we'd need to see the relevant code to offer specifics.
As mentioned by myselfrandhawa the document.all function is being used. How can I tweak this so it will work in all browsers?
function setLots(){
with(document.srchFrm){
Search.disabled = true;
document.all("123").innerText = 'Please Wait : Loading Lots ...';
var Current = Phase.selectedIndex;
Phase.options[Current].text = 'Please Wait : Loading Lots ...';
flag.value = 0;
submit();
}
}
This one is on us!

UNLOCK SOLUTION
More code...Not sure where to assign the ID. The element used the onchange event to trigger the setLots function. What method should I use?
Thanks!
Thanks!

Try this:
Let me know what output you get, try putting alerts after each line on your java-script code.
//document.all("123").innerText = 'Please Wait : Loading Lots ...';
document.getElementById('ProjID').textContent = 'Please Wait : Loading Lots ...';
<select name="ProjID" id="ProjID" style="width:475px;" onchange="setLots();">
