How do you get the text out of a drop down box?

[epaisley]

Is there a way access the display text of a dropdown box in javascript? I can get the value of the dropdown, but I need to use the display text in the confirm portion of the javscript. Any ideas? I tried selectform.Player.text, but that gives me an undefined error, the code works with selectform.Player.value

thanks!

<script language="JavaScript">
	function VerifySelect(selectform) 
	{ 
	  textvalue = "Are you sure you want to select: " + selectform.Player.text;
	  if (confirm(textvalue))
	  {
	  	selectform.submit();
	  } 
	}
</script>

I did some more searching and some trial and error and got it! it doesn't seem very clean, but it works!!!

<script language="JavaScript">
	function VerifySelect(selectform) 
	{ 
	  textvalue = "Are you sure you want to select: " + selectform.Player.options[selectform.Player.options.selectedIndex].text;
	  if (confirm(textvalue))
	  {
	  	selectform.submit();
	  } 
	}
</script>
