SELECT <option value..>

[magix]

Hi,

in my SELECT (like below), the option value has 2 values, separated with
comma ","

<select name="sIdName">
<option value="10,John" >John</option>
<option value="11,Eva"> Eva</option>
<option value="22,Danny ">Danny</option>
</select>

How can I read these two values individually from Javascript statement ?
like one is 10, another one is John

i.e document.form.o ption[document.form.s electedIndex].value ?
thanks.

10 and John? (Assume <Select name="sIdName" id="sIdName"..> , some sort of
split function need to be done.

No, it has one value that contains a comma.

<select name="sIdName">
<option value="10,John" >John</option>
<option value="11,Eva"> Eva</option>
<option value="22,Danny ">Danny</option>
</select>

var selectValue = document.forms['formName'].elements['selectName'].value
var theArray = selectValue.spl it(',')
var firstValue = theArray[0]
var secondValue = theArray[1]

It pays to read the specs:
selectedIndex is no child of form but of the select.
form is not the same as forms[0].

use:
=============== =============
<form>
<select name="sIdName">
<option value="10,John" >John</option>
<option value="11,Eva" selected>Eva</option>
<option value="22,Danny ">Danny</option>
</select>
</form>

<script type='text/javascript'>

var r = document.forms[0].elements['sIdName']
var rr = r.options[r.selectedIndex].value.split(', ');

alert(rr[0]); // 11
alert(rr[1]); // Eva

</script>
=============== =============

or:
=============== =============
<select name="sIdName" onchange='chd(t his)'>
<option value="--,--">-- ? --</option>
<option value="10,John" >John</option>
<option value="11,Eva"> Eva</option>
<option value="22,Danny ">Danny</option>
</select>

<script type='text/javascript'>

function chd(r) {
if (r.selectedInde x==0) return;
var rr = r.options[r.selectedIndex].value.split(', ');
alert(rr[0]);
alert(rr[1]);
};

</script>
=============== =============
