The following code works in FF but fails in IE7 when I try to swap two options: [code] function load{ var shippingLocation = document.getElementById("location"); var swap = null; var initiallyFirstItem = shippingLocation.options[0].cloneNode(true); var lastPos = null; for(var i = 0; i < shippingLocation.length; i++) { if(shippingLocation.options[i].value == "XETEX") { swap = shippingLocation.options[i]; lastPos = i; break; } } console.debug("sl: " + shippingLocation.options[0]); console.debug("s: " + swap); shippingLocation.options[0] = swap; shippingLocation.options[lastPos] = initiallyFirstItem; shippingLocation.selectedIndex = 0; } [/code] I get an error on the next to the third line from the bottom: shippingLocation.options[0] = swap; The error states that "object doesn't support this property or method". What's IE's beef with switching option items?
