Get a drop down value

LuiePL

I'm trying to get the value the user selected in my drop down box.

This is the code for the box:

[HTML]<select size='1' name='Location' onchange="javas cript:stateChan ge()">
<option value="Californ ia">Californi a</option>
<option value="New Jersey">New Jersey</option>
<option value="Pennsylv ania">Pennsylva nia</option>
</select>
<br /><div id='divState' style="width:10 0%;height:20"></div>[/HTML]

This is the function it calls:

[HTML]<script language="javas cript">
<!--
function stateChange(Sta te){
var myState = State;
var str = "The state is: "+State;
document.getEle mentById("divSt ate").innerHTM L = str;
}
-->
</script>[/HTML]

I need to know what to put in the () of stateChange() when I call it. I haven't found anything that says what to do. I would think it would be something like 'Location.value ', but that gives me "undefined" when I run it. Thanks for the help.

Got it. It's "this.value " but for some reason it wasn't working right before. Oh well...

I am working on creating an editable grid (for use in adding, deleting, and editing rows back to an Oracle database). I have a JSP that posts back to a servlet, which in turns posts to a WebLogic SFSB and, from there, to the database. On the front end, all cells appear as text fields. However, for certain cells, when the user clicks on the cell, the text field turns into a drop-down field (i.e. Select object), defaulting to the value...

Hi, On an ASP.NET page I have a drop down list control. When the user pulls down the list and makes a selection, I perform validation, and if the validation fails I want the selected item in the drop down box to go back to what the value was before the user tried to change it, but at that point I will not know what the original value was. Or is there a drop down control "revert" method, or is there any way of knowing what the original...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
