Easy techie question...not (HTML/ASP/JS)

I have an ASP page with 2 dropdown list boxes. They have id's of "select2" and "select3". Their "onchange" event is set to call a javascript function that will draw a button on screen (as follows):
function checkDeferDate()
{
var el1 = document.getElementById('select2');
var el2 = document.getElementById('select3');
var myDate = el1.options[el1.selectedIndex].value;
var myMonth = el2.options[el2.selectedIndex].value;
(rest of code removed)
}
This code works fine, everything happens as it should.
I have a requirement to add the line:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
This has now broken the Javascript function if the ASP page is accessed from any other PC (it still works on the webserver).
I have tried wrapping the javascript in CDATA tags, and moving it to the end of the <body> section.
It fails with the error "object required" on the line:
var myDate = el1.options[el1.selectedIndex].value;
Any ideas?

Are you declaring the document to be Transitional or Strict? Your DOCTYPE is informing us that it is Transitional but then you are pointing to the Strict DTD.
Try changing...
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
...to...
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
... or if it really is meant to be strict (which is why I think it breaks the code)...
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
