I want to print a alert massage with the value of select in this mode:
<html>
<head>
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<meta http-equiv=&quot;Content-Type&quot; content=&quot;text/html; charset=iso-8859-1&quot;>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE&quot;Javascript&quot;>
<!--
function getname(str)
{
alert(&quot;Ciao, &quot;+str+&quot;!&quot;);
}
//-->
</SCRIPT>
</head>

<body bgcolor=&quot;#FFFFFF&quot; text=&quot;#000000&quot;>
<form name=&quot;form1&quot; method=&quot;post&quot; action=&quot;&quot;>
<select name=&quot;select&quot; onblur=&quot;getname(this.value)&quot;>
<option>1</option>
<option>2</option>
<option>3</option>
<option>4</option>
</select>
<p><input type=&quot;text&quot; name=&quot;textfield&quot; >
</p></form>
</body>
</html>

Why this.value don't display me nothing?

Please do an effort to use correct English and spelling.

<select name=select onblur=&quot;getname(this.options[this.selectedIndex].value)&quot;>

this.value would work with some JavaScript engines but using the selectedIndex and fishing the information out of the options is an older method accepted by more browsers (old and new alike).

Hope this helps. Gary Haran

Your error is that all options doesn not have any default value, like this:
<option value=&quot;1&quot;>1</option>

Also, I'd recommend to change this:
<select name=&quot;select&quot; onblur=&quot;getname(this.options[this.selectedIndex].value)&quot;>

so it will work as it should also in NN4.x


If you don't want to add values to every <option> you can use this:

<select name=&quot;select&quot; onblur=&quot;getname(this.options[this.selectedIndex].text)&quot;>

It will do the same thing.


Also, don't call <select> as &quot;select&quot;, never give names that are reserved words.

good luck
