[Project_owners] getElementById behavior in firefox 3

[Jawahar Swaminathan]

Hi,
Apologies if I have missed this in previous posts, but I'm having 
problems updating my extension to work with firefox3.

The code is

function doCMD(el) {
        var v = el.getAttribute("value");
        if (v == "") {
                alert('No database chosen');
        } else
                alert('Value of v is ' + v);
                document.getElementById('server1').value=v;
                biobar_SearchMenu();
}

In firefox2 and before, the value of 
document.getElementById('server1').value is overwritten with that handed 
over by variable v. But it would appear this no longer works in ff3.0. 
I've looked at the developer documentation in MDC but am none the wiser. 
Would appreciate and be thankful for any suggestions.

regards - Jawahar
