Dumb Question

[webdev1]

Ok, I apologize in advance for being brain dead today but here is my dilemna. How do I say the selected field of a dropdown box? I was thinking it should be something like document.forms.formname.fieldname.value.selected but that doesn't seem to work. I also tried just .value and just .selected and neither seem to be correct. Any ideas? Thanks a million!

document.formName.selectName.options[document.formName.selectName.options.selectedIndex].index


Index will give you the number that the selected option is, and if you change .index to .value you'll get the selected option's value.
