Question

function func(){
    with (document.forms[0]){
        inputid.value = "text"; //Works!
        spanid.innerHTML = "text"; //Err, spanid is not defined.
    }
}

This is not working in Firefox but it is in IE7. I debug in Firebug, spanid is not defined, but I can use document.getElementById("spanid") to select this element. I just don’t know why? The input element works fine!

Answer 1

Shouldn’t it be document.forms[0] (notice the s on form)

**EDIT**

Since the answers aren’t rolling in on this one, here’s my suggestion. Simply it. Use the methods you’re familiar with and don’t waste time trying to get this to work.

function YourFunction()
{
    var objSpan = document.getElementById([Insert Element ID]);
    var objInput = document.getElementById([Insert Element ID]);

    objSpan.InnerHTML = "text";
    ...
}
