Getting display value from select list

[dokken]

In the following select list, using response.form, how do I get the display value from the list? response.Form("lstItems&quot gives me 1, or 2. I want First or Second.

<select 'lstItems'>
<option value='1'>First</option>
<option value='2'>second</option>
</select>

change the value from &quot;1&quot; to first

Hi

The select box needs to be in a form with a submit button and an &quot;action&quot; page.

When the user presses submit the form value &quot;lstItems&quot; will be passed to the next page.

On the next page (which must be an ASP page) you can call the value from the list box by using:

<%=Request.form(&quot;lstItems&quot;)%>

That is it! Remember that these scripts are run on the server so &quot;request&quot; is asking what the user has submitted and &quot;response&quot; is what is being sent back to the browser. Derren

Bugger - I spent ages trying to work out what was being asked and I still didn't read it right! Pants

I'm pretty sure that <%=Request.form(&quot;lstItems&quot%>
will give me the contents of the Value, not the text displayed to the user. i.e. 1 instead of First
