retreiving the value from a select dropdown

[marlin rudolph]

how is a value accessed from a select dropdown, after an onchange is executed, using the launchurl script, from the
newly launched page?

code snippet:

onchange="launchUrl('/IntChgAction.do');" >

I want to access the selected value in the IntChgAction class.

To access a select menu's items:

document.MyformName.MySelectBoxName.options[document.MyformName.MySelectBoxName.selectedIndex].value;

OR

document.getElementById('MySelectBoxID').options[document.getElementById('MySelectBoxID').selectedIndex].value;

Both those examples grab the value from the selected option which must be declared.

<select id="menu1">
<option value="2">February</option>
</select>

You can also access the text value by replacing .value with .text in the above examples (I know this at least works in IE not sure of other browsers)

Hope That Helps,
