populating text field in firefox not working

i have a simple url -
JavaScript / DHTML / AJAX Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1.  <a href="javascript:displayWindow('Slice 2100 (Commercial)');">SLICE 2100 (Commercial)</a>

that passes the the variable in a javascript function -
JavaScript / DHTML / AJAX Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. 				<script language="javascript">
  2. 		    function displayWindow(url)
  3. 		    {
  4. 		        var w, h, l, t;
  5. 				var nc;
  6.  
  7. 		        w = 600;
  8. 		        h = 409;
  9. 		        l = screen.width/4;
  10. 		        t = screen.height/4;
  11.  
  12. 				nc = url;
  13. 				document.forms['SellSheet'].elements['sellitsheet'].value = nc;				
  14.  
  15.                 // no title		        
  16. 		        // displayFloatingDiv('windowcontent', '', w, h, l, t);
  17.  
  18.                 // with title		        
  19. 		        displayFloatingDiv('windowcontent', 'Floating and Dimming Div', w, h, l, t);				
  20.  
  21. 		    }
  22. 		</script>

the function then prints our the variable in a text field but it doesn't show in firefox -

my text field
JavaScript / DHTML / AJAX Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1.  <input type="text" style="width: 292px" class="myTextBox" id="sellitsheet" />

any ideas?

thanks

Hope this would help you!

Instead of this one -->
document.forms ['SellSheet'].elements['sellitsheet'].value = nc;
Try doing it like this -->
document.SellSheet.sellitsheet.value = nc;

thanks for the quick reply - but that doesn't work either. in fact, i originally had that string and changed it b/c i saw some post on the net saying firefox couldn't understand that type of syntax.

any other ideas?

thanks!

This should work!
If not then try this reference guide @
http://developer.mozilla.org/en/The_DOM_and_JavaScript --

document.getElementsByTagName('form')['SellSheet'].elements['sellitsheet'].value = nc;
