Hello All:

I am running this code: (see attached code)

It is returning the information fine in FireFox but for IE, I always get “undefined” or “null” I have tried all the properties from the [[COLOR=#800080]http://www.w3schools.com/htmldom/dom\_obj\_location.asp[/COLOR] as well as [URL=“http://www.w3schools.com/htmldom/dom\_obj\_document.asp”][COLOR=#800080]http://www.w3schools.com/htmldom/dom\_obj\_document.asp[/COLOR]](http://www.w3schools.com/htmldom/dom_obj_location.asp) under the heading “Document Object Properties” with no avail. Anyone have this issue or have a solution?

Thanks!
