document.form.select.value propertie in IExplorer and Netscape

[dvera]

Hello,

When I use the propertie document.form.select.value in Netscape I don't have any problem. Otherwise when i use this in IExplorer (V. 5.0) I can't get the selected value.

What can i do to solve this problem?

Thankyou

The correct syntax to get value for an option in a listbox is as follows.
get the selected Items index.

var index = document.formName.listBox.selectedIndex;

get selected index's value

var val = document.formName.listBox[index].value;

cheers.

Now, when I use the instructions you gave me, It still doesn't work in Netscape and Explorer. Here you have an example that I've done.

function redirection()
{

var index = document.form1.user.selectedIndex;
var val = document.form1.user[index].value;
alert(val); //*** it doesn't show any option
document.location="menu_editar_cliente.jsp?usr=" + document.form1.user[index].value;
}

<form name="form1" action="" method="get" onsubmit="javascript:checkMail(this)">

<select name='user' onchange="javascript:redirection()">
...
</select>
</form>

Thanks again

get rid of javascript: in onsubmit and onchange event calls.
Your html code should look like this

<form name="form1" action="" method="get" onsubmit="checkMail(this)">

<select name='user' onchange="redirection()">

unless there is something else in your html code or JavaScript that is not seen here,it will work.

cheers
