LIST/MENU reading selected item

[jazztie]

I have filled a LIST/MENU with dynamic content.
The value of an <option> is a number (id)...

How can I read out which item is selected when the form is submitted?

I assume you're not using anything server side to get the value since this is posted in the client side forum?

JavaScript can get the value of a select menu like this:

document.formName.selectName[document.formName.selectName.selectedIndex].value

You could use an onSubmit event handler in your form tag to call a function and get the menu's value, performing an action depending on what option was selected.
