how to use JavaScript on Mozilla?

aiiiq · 05-03-2004, 07:50 AM

I can run the following code on IE6 or Konqueror normally.
But can not run it on Mozilla, why?

<textarea name=aaa>
abc
</textarea>

<script>
alert(aaa.value)
</script>

The following works:

Code:

<form name="myform">
<textarea name="aaa">
abc
</textarea>
</form>
<script language="javascript">
var alert_msg = document.forms['myform'].elements['aaa'].value;
alert(alert_msg);
</script>

That one works:

<form>
<textarea name="aaa">
abc
</textarea>
</form>

<script>
alert(document.forms[0].elements["aaa"].value)
</script>

PS: Sorry, I didn't refreshed this thread window so I thought I was replying first, the previous code posted is better, actually ...

</textarea>
</form>

<script>
alert(document.getElementById("bbb").value)
alert(document.forms['aaaform'].elements["aaa"].value)
</script>
