Get the selected Item value from a drop-down list

[smithpe]

Hi

I have been having a hard time with this one. What I am trying to do is pull the selected item value from a drop-down list. I need to be able to pass that value to another page. I can with an onchange statement see the value but not save to any type of variable.

Here is the onchange statement

onchange="alert('Value: ' + this.options[this.selectedIndex].value)"

Any ideas how to save this to a variable so I can then pass it on to another web page.



Thanks

Code is really

onchange=&quot;alert('Value: ' + attr_value<%= attr %>.options[attr_value<%= attr %>.selectedIndex].value)
