Finding Index

[nareshreporter]

Hi,
I am trying to retrieve index of a selected item in a dropdownlist (default values) in CSP. I tried using FindIndexOf, but didnt work. Basicaly I have a dropdownlist that has default values. When the user selects any item from the DDL it displays that item in a listbox, which is current values. Now i want to get the index of the item that user selected in default values ie., from DDL. can anyone tell me how to get index. I appreciate your time.

Thanks in advance

I don't think this is a csp question, per se, but html. You are presumably doing something like this:

<select name='menu'>
<option value='val1'>A
<option value='val2'>B
<option value='val3'>C

This will display a droplist with the choices A, B, and C. After the user makes a choice, the form field 'menu' will hav the value associated with the choice: For A, 'val1'; for B, 'val2'; for C, 'val3'. I am not aware of a way to find the index of 'val1', 'val2', 'val3', unless they were stored independently in an array. But I could just be ignorant. You may want to take the question to an html forum.
