Rails spinoffs - Mar 2008 - Frustration with IE7 and the <option> index property

The following code is working in Firefox, but not IE7.  The problem
stems from trying to determine the index of an <option> element of a
<select> list.

// where e is an event triggered by clicking on the <option>
function toggleOption(e){
            var opt =  Event.element(e);
            var i = opt.index;
            alert(i + " " + opt.value); // debug
            statusOptions[i] = !statusOptions[i];
            replaceOptions();
        }

in IE7, my variable ''i'' is undefined.  is there a better way
to obtain
this value in IE7?

Thanks

Isn''t that supposed to be opt.selectedIndex?

I believe that is a property of the parent <select> element, but one
that I can certainly use for my purposes.  Changing the code to...

function toggleOption(){
            var i = $(''statusList'').selectedIndex;
            statusOptions[i] = !statusOptions[i];
            replaceOptions();
        }

...solves my problem.

Thanks!
