Accessing Select box value

[ChrisQuick]

I have trouble trying to read the value from a select box, and placing the value into a hidden input.

The code I have is a mix of ASP and javaScript.

Here is what creates the select.
<td>
<select name=&quot;txtUser&quot; class=&quot;select&quot;>
<% CustListArray = Session(&quot;CustomerNames&quot
If IsArray(CustListArray) Then
For counter = 0 to UBound(CustListArray,2)
Response.Write(&quot;<option value='&quot; & CustListArray(0,counter) & &quot;'>&quot; & CustListArray(0,counter) & &quot;</option>&quot; & Chr(10))
Next
End If
%>
</select>
<input type=&quot;hidden&quot; name=&quot;txtUser_hidden&quot;>
</td>


and here is the javaScript that trys to set the value from the select to another input on submittal of the form:

frm.txtUser_hidden.value=frm.txtUser.selectedIndex.value;


When the form is submitted, and the value of txtUser_hidden
is read with:

strCustomerName = CheckSQL(Request.Form(&quot;txtUser_hidden&quot)
Response.Write(strCustomerName)

The value comes back as UNDEFINED.

Any thoughts?

frm.txtUser.selectedIndex returns an integer (the selected index ;-))
so change the frm.txtUser_hidden.value=frm.txtUser.selectedIndex.value;
to frm.txtUser_hidden.value=frm.txtUser.selectedIndex;

that's all !!

Well, what I am trying to get is the value from the select box. I changed it to this:

frm.txtUser_hidden.value=frm.txtUser[frm.txtUser.selectedIndex].value;

and it works now. Thanks
