Get Value of Selected Value in a <select>

[lmf232s]

This is the code
<select name=Customers>
<option value=ME>ME
<option value=YOU>YOU
<select>

This is the JS

function MyCustomer(){
var cust = document.form.Customers.value;
alert(cust);
}


THIS DOES NOT WORK. What do i need to do to get this to work. I keep getting an undefined for the value of cust in the alert.

Try this instead:

var cust = document.form.Customers.options[document.form.Customers.selectedIndex].value;

thanks for the quick reply.
I figured it out. What I had actually worked. My problem was that i had this
document.form.customer.Value;

and the Cap V was making it not work.

So I tried this with a lower case v

document.form.customer.value;

and it worked.

I think the only reason I found this out was because I deleted the line of code and retyped it, and then sat their saying, ok now what did i change to make this code work. And then it dawned on my that I have a Cap V for Value.

Thanks.

I did try what you posted and it errored out but it might of been because i was using a Cap V for value.

Later.

Hi!

If you use Adam's suggestion, it will also work in older browsers.
