select options 2

[okiiyama]

Is it possible to get an option's text and value?
How can the following non-working example work?
Goal: alert with the option's value and text

<select name="test" onclick="alert(this.value+', '+this.text);">
<option value="1">One
<option value="2">Two
</select>

Thanks

Try this, though I haven't tested it.

<select name="test" onclick="alert(this[this.selectedIndex].value+', '+this[selectedIndex].text);">

lee,

i think (although i'm too lazy to test) that you need to reference the options collection?

<select name="test" onclick="alert(this[red].options[/red][this.selectedIndex].value+', '+this[red].options[/red][[red]this.[/red]selectedIndex].text);">

Thank you... Just what I needed.

Yeah, Cory, I'd have found that out if I'd bothered to test it. #
