Hello,

I'm having a problem with the following HTML/javascript code:

 <SELECT onchange="VPEchanged" id=verpleeg name=verpleeg size=1>
 <OPTION value = 0>Geen</OPTION>
<OPTION value = 1>Test</OPTION>
 </SELECT>
 <SCRIPT language="javascript">
 verpleeg.options[1].selected = true;
</SCRIPT>

he gives an error in the script : verpleeg is not defined
Why can't I use that variable anymore ?? How can I solve this problem ??

It's probably a very basic question, but I've been searching now for a while
allready, so I'd really appreciate some help!

Tnx in advance,

Koen Appeltans
