Java Script Problem

[Shiran]

I have a javascript problem. I wish someone can solve it.
I have a combobox where it displays string values.
I have an unique id for each of the string values which is an integer.

I am using form1.object.options[form1.object.selectedIndex].id*1; so I
can get the correct id for the selected string. This works fine for
me.

But in another combo I need to have the id as a 'String' not as an
integer,
for this the above javascript doesnt work. It returns an 'NaN'

Please tell me how can I get the string id for the selected value.

Any help is greatly appreciated

Thanks
Shiran.

Drop off the "*1". It is only there to convert the string value to a
number. If the string does not contain a number, trying to convert it
gives NaN (Not a Number).

To avoid convertion problems with strings that start with '0' (treated
as octals) you should specify the radix:

parseInt(integer, 10)

I hope this helps.
