Thanks, it worked!

Post #215,969 by tablizer 7/21/05 4:44:54 PM Reply	Thanks, it worked! However, it does bring up a couple of questions: 1. Why did it work in Mozilla without the Value tag? 2. How does one reference the description text in JS? ________________ oop.ismad.com
Post #215,970 by ChrisR 7/21/05 4:53:28 PM Reply	Mozilla probably defaults Means that <option> is probably not treated the same as <option value=''>. Anyhow, it's not a behavior that should be relied upon. The text can be retrieved by using .text instead of .value. document.mainform.filterset.options[selectedPosition].text;

[link\|http://www.dannyg.com/pubs/jsb/\|Javascript Bible] is also good but after reading it, I rarely fall back to it for reference purposes. Anyhow, if you're in the market, those are probably the three best. There's lots of web resources as well, but I usually just google and end up at random places. Two that I've bookmarked but don't use regularly are [link\|http://javascript-reference.info/\|Javascript crib] and [link\|http://webref.info/default.asp?\|WebRef].
