Are you using IE?
Just tried your script and IE 6 SP2 doesnt like it, but when i lowered my security settings for that file it worked. So theres nothing wrong with the script - its the browser

Make "onchange" all lowercase. JS is case sensitive, all of the event handler names are lowercase, sometimes mixing case causes problems. IE in particular will accept incorrect cases instead of throwing an error, and treat them as expando properties instead of mapping them to the proper handler.

ok i found the bug... had
document.all['contact_type'].onchange = "...somestuff..."
in another file that overrode the handler in the tag.
thanx for all the help guys.

Nope still doesnt work in IE. I thought the correct syntax was onChange, onClick, onMouseOver etc
