Does anyone know where I can get a list of options when reading form elements? For instance the following line of code

document.form.menu.options.value

would get me the value of a form's (named form) pulldown menu's (named menu) option. That sounds confusing -- if you want me to explain better, I'll try. Thanks.

Is it that what you want?

<html>
<head>
<title></title>
<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
function list()
{
var opt = document.form.menu.options;
var f = opt.length;
var cach = "";
for(i=0;i<f;i++)
{
val = opt[i].value;
cach += val+"\n";
}
alert(cach);
}
//-->
</script>
<noscript></noscript>
</head>
<body text="#000000" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" link="#FF0000" alink="#FF0000" vlink="#FF0000">
<form name="form">
<select name="menu" size="">
<option value="option1">option1
<option value="option2">option2
<option value="option3">option3
</select>
<input type="Button" value="list" onClick="list()">
</form>
</body>
</html>

Sorry, you must have misunderstood what I wanted. I didn't explain very well. I am wondering what the different commands I can use are (ie. document.form.menu.??) Does that make sense?
