Get Text from a Combo Box

JavaScript
1

Hello Select Control in HTML (COMBO BOX) does have 2 values

<Code Value> <Text Value>

Now say my Select id= SelectID
then i can get the value of that using
document.getElementByID(“SelectID”).value

<option value=100> mystring</option>
document.getElementByID(“SelectID”).value
Now this will get me 100
but i want to get mystring
I Tried
document.getElementByID(“SelectID”).text
but it didnt worked. How i can get the text value using javascript.

Thanks in advance

Regards

document.getElementByID(“SelectBoxName”).options[document.getElementByID(“SelectBoxName”).selectedIndex].value

should work for ya of course setting document.getElementByID(“SelectBoxName”) to a var first will speed things up

to get the text do .text instead of .value

document.getElementByID(“SelectBoxName”).options[document.getElementByID(“SelectBoxName”).selectedIndex].text
that did the trick
