<select name="txtRoleId">

But then you use getElementById() on it. There's no ID set, which is why
getElementById doesn't find anything.

The DOM spec doesn't say we should match on name on such a case,
it's only a side effect that it works in other browsers (e.g. due to them
using the same code as the code that implements document.txtRoleId...)
