Wants wrong with my code!!!

[Agent Moose]

I need some help with a code. It is supposed to be a code that what ever option you choose from the drop-down menu, the description and catagory change with it. I don't know why, but the cagatory doesn't show up, and the description doesn't change. I have two code for you to see, the first one is for what I tried when adding the catagorys...it doesn't work right,

This code is the one I used before I added the catagorys. Looks the same and it works...

First one doesn't work proporly, second one does, but it doesn't have the catagorys...if anyone wants to help me, please do...if that even makes sence...-Agent Moose

In the first code, your display function looks like this (four parameters):

function displaydesc(which, descriptionarray, catagoryarray, container)

But when you call the function in the select, you call it like this (three parameters):

onChange="displaydesc(document.form1.select1, thetext1, 'textcontainer1')"

You should probably change it to this:

onChange="displaydesc(document.form1.select1, thetext1, catagory1, 'textcontainer1')"

Just FYI, these two pieces of code are the same:

<select name="select1" onchange="someFunction(document.form1.select1);">

<select name="select1" onchange="someFunction(this);">

It still doesn't work. I changed the thing you told me too. I also changed some things with the code to, just the name of the arrays and things like that...
