Hi All,

Can any one help me, how to get the selected value from <Select> tag
using DOM
I tried with
document.getElementById("selectTagId").getAttribut e("value") it's
working fine with IE but not with NN I have checked it on NN 7.1

Thanks in advance

document.getElementById("selectTagId").value
works in modern browsers. For Nestscape 4 and other old browsers,
you must get the value from the selected option (works in newer
browsers too):

var sel = document.getElementById("selectTagId");
sel.options[sel.selectedIndex].value;
