Not sure what you're trying to do, but this is wrong:

ipt=Array("text1","text3");
f=s.form;
v=s.options[s.selectedIndex].value;
for(i=0;i<ipt.length;i++){
f.elements[ipt].style.display=v==opt?"block":"none";
}

You assign the array of input names to the variable "ipt". You then try
to use that "ipt" array as an index into the form's elements collection.
Try changing this line:

f.elements[ipt].style.display=v==opt?"block":"none";

To this:

f.elements[ipt[i]].style.display=v==opt?"block":"none";

I stil get the same error.

Try changing this line:

f.elements[ipt].style.display=v==opt?"block":"none";

To this:

f.elements[ipt].style.display=v==opt?"block":"none";

Sorry, I missed that you were doing the same thing with the opt
variable. Here is the complete working function:

function setInput(s){
// array of the options that activate the text inputs
opt=Array("1","3");
// array of the text input id's
ipt=Array("text1","text3");
f=s.form;
v=s.options[s.selectedIndex].value;
for(i=0;i<ipt.length;i++){
f.elements[ipt[i]].style.display=(v==opt[i]?"block":"none");
}
}

Sorry Gary, stil the same error

When i use your source it works for me too. Maybe it has something to do with the line breaks. Thank you very much for your help and your patience Gary

You're welcome. If you can upload yours somewhere and post a link,
perhaps I can spot the problem.
