Question

The following code is working in FF but not in IE. There is no value of document.myform["parameters"].value in IE.

The code:

function form_elements()
{
   if(document.myform.elements["parameters"].value == '')
    {
       myform_values = ......
    }
}

 <form method="post" name="myform">
  <div id="parameters_info">
    <select id="parameters" name="parameters" onfocus="e =form_elements();" >
        <?php
            foreach($params_name as $name)
              {
                if($name == $param_posted)
              {
                  echo "<option selected>$name</option>";
              }
              else
              {
                  echo "<option>$name</option>";
              }
            }

        ?>
      </select>
</div>
</form>

I tried also document.myform["parameters"].value but the value is empty.

My options are like:

<option>1234</option>
<option>234a</option>

And i want that the value of the option will be in the function.

You need to give a value to each option. Also, you cannot get the selected option using the value of the select tag. You need to use:

var selectedOption = document.myform.parameters.options[document.myform.parameters.options.selectedIndex].value;
