How to read ComboBox (Infragistics) DisplayValue

[modulo]

Hi!

I have a Problem with reading a value from an Infragistics WebCombo.
Actually this is a Javascript problem but i hope posting in this NG is
more promising.

I try to ready a value from an ComboBox with one of these Functions:

igcmbo_getElementById("WebCombo2").value;
or
document.getElementById("WebCombo2").value; (both have the same
effect)

As result i got: Select-1Valuetest
(test is what i wrote in the ComboBox)
How can i read the display value from the ComboBow without the
DropDownList information (Select-1Value)?

Gruß

document.WebCombo2.options[WebCombo2.selectedIndex].value;

Hi!
Thank you for the answer but it doesnt seem to work.

document.WebCombo2.options[WebCombo2.selectedIndex].value;
It looks like the WebCombo2 Control cant be found. Do you have another
idea?

Hi!

No more ideas?

Oliver,

Depending on how your combobox id is assigned you may need to put its name
in single quotes.

document.'WebCombo2'.options['WebCombo2'.selectedIndex].value;

Hi Justin!

Thanks for your patience. I got the answer myself. I told you I only
need the WebCombo value wihtout the DowpDownList information. My falut
was I thought getElementById("WebCombo2").value; would give me value
of the textfield of the WebCombo but it returns the entire WebCombo2
data (including DropDownList infos).

The Infragistics WebCombo generates while compiling an WebCombo2_input
control where i found what i was searching for.
-> getElementById("WebCombo2_input").value;
Bathetic but i overlooked that fault.
