How do I retrieve id values from <option id=123> ?

Hia!

I have a problem with select box. I have to put alot of info on each <option> in a selectbox.

Looking something like this:

<select name=whatever>
<option value=1 id=1234>Some text</option>
<option value=2 id=5678>Some other text</option>
etc....
</select>

Is there some easy way to retrieve this id value?

var s = document.formName.selectListName;
var sid = s.options[s.selectedIndex].id;

...sid will hold the value you seek.

'hope that helps.
