Mac/Safari does not support dhtmlxcombo

DHTMLxCombo(filtering mode) is used on a combo box.
like:
<SELECT NAME = "abc" ID = "abc_id".....>
<OPTION>ALBANIA</OPTION>
.
.
.
</OPION>

I added a code to capture the onchnage event so that I can perform some desired task where combo value is changed.
Everything is perfectly fine on Windows/Safari But on Mac/Safari, javascript method could not find the element by name(abc) as well as by Id(abc_id).

I used the syntax:
names = document.getElementsByname("abc")
alert(names.length)

In alert I get 0 which is 1(desirable) in Windows/Mac.

How to fix this problem..???

Please help me asap.

Thanks in Advance

The more reliable way is to use element's ID
<SELECT id="abc" ID = "abc_id".....>
....
var select = document.getElementById('abs');

I tried with Id also, it is also not taking it.

params[:<element-id>] is working fine but document.getElementById(<id>) is not working. If  use simpe combo, everything is perfectly fine.

If you are converting grid to combo object, you can't access it by getElementById

before converting
    var select = document.getElementById('abs');
after converting
    var combo = abs;

The combo object is a JS component, so it can't be accessed or updated in same way as default select element, it has special API to get|set values|states
