<script type="text/javascript">
window.onload = function (evt) {
laddainrulltyp();
</script>
works with both IE and Mozilla and other browsers.
The whole <script for="..." event="..."> is not at all or not well
supported in browsers other than MSIE.

Hi Martin

Your load function works fine, thanks.

But the function that write into the textboxes(txtrulltyp,txtrulltypid)
does'nt work.
Got any idea what I'am doing wrong.

//This function
<script language=Javascript>
function laddainrulltyp()
{
formen.txtrulltyp.value
=formen.cborulltyp.options(formen.cborulltyp.selectedIndex).text;
formen.txtrulltypid.value
=formen.cborulltyp.options(formen.cborulltyp.selectedIndex).value;
}
</script>

<script language=Javascript>
function laddainrulltyp()
{
formen.txtrulltyp.value

If you want to address the element
<select name="selectName">
inside of the form
<form name="formName">
in a cross-browser way then use
var select= document.forms.formName.elements.selectName;

Or you can use:

document.forms['formName'].elements['selectName']

which allows a little more freedom in the names used. If you use
<form name="my.form" ...> you can't get a reference to it using

document.forms.my.form

but you can get at it using:

document.forms['my.form']

Similarly for other special characters that are tolerated in names but
may confuse access methods such as ":", "[]", etc.
