Select object value

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:

Hi,

I just saw the following:
[URL=”http://www.w3schools.com/jsref/prop_option_value.asp”]http://www.w3schools.com/jsref/prop_option_value.asp[/URL]

And wonder if there’s something wrong with [I]selectObject.value[/I]. Why not a simple approach:

[CODE]<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<script type=”text/javascript”>
function displayResult()
{
alert(document.getElementById(“mySelect”).value);
}
</script>
</head>
<body>

<form>
Select your favorite fruit:
<select id=”mySelect”>
<option value=”apple”>Apple</option>
<option value=”orange”>Orange</option>
<option value=”pineapple”>Pineapple</option>
<option value=”banana”>Banana</option>
</select>
</form>

<button type=”button” onclick=”displayResult()”>Display value of selected fruit</button>

</body>
</html>[/CODE]

It seems to be working with no problem.

Thanks in advance!
Mike

@nap0leonJun 10.2012 — What you have is exactly what they wrote.

selectObject = document.getElementById("mySelect")

You are using document.getElementById to get the object that you want the value of.

Success!
