Simple function

I feel really, dumb. However, can anybody see why this isn’t working?

[CODE]
<html>
<head>
<title>Test</title>
<script type=”text/javascript”>
function tester(obj) {
var obj2 = obj.value;
document.write(obj2);
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<select name=”test” id=”test” onChange=”javascript:tester(this);”>
<option></option>
<option value=”test1″>test1</option>
<option value=”test2″>test2</option>
</select>
</body>
</html>
[/CODE]

I’ve been looking at code all day, and I’m sure I’m missing something stupid. Thanks for any help!

You would need to do something like this....
[CODE]obj.options[obj..selectedIndex].value;[/CODE]

or

and don't ask why this works, but if all you need is the value from the select object, I believe you can do this from your onchange call.... [CODE]tester(this.value)[/CODE]and it will pass the selected value. I'm 99% sure I've done that before, but not sure why it is any different.

Older browsers (very old) didn't have a value property.

@astupidnameJun 04.2009 — I wonder if it was the document.write in the head.......

(extremely highly) unlikely this has any bearing on the OPs situation
