your question is a bit confusing..what are labels...????please elaborate

[Gasolene]

here is the list/menu component:

------------------------------------------------------

<select name="mymenu" onChange="Update();">
<option value="0" selected>textLabel1 Space</option>
<option value="4.95">textLabel2 </option>
<option value="15.95">textLabel3 </option>
<option value="34.95">textLabel4 </option>
<option value="124.95">textLabel5 </option>
<option value="199.95">textLabel6 </option>
</select>

------------------------------------------------------

mydocument.myform.mymenu.value returns the value
ie: 15.95

but i want to know if its possible to return the label
ie: textlabel3

this is possible in actionscript & C+, but i dont know if its possible in javascript.
