Select object value

Hi,

I just saw the following:
http://www.w3schools.com/jsref/prop_option_value.asp

And wonder if there's something wrong with selectObject.value. Why not a simple approach:

Code:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
function displayResult()
{
alert(document.getElementById("mySelect").value);
}
</script>
</head>
<body>

<form>
Select your favorite fruit:
<select id="mySelect">
  <option value="apple">Apple</option>
  <option value="orange">Orange</option>
  <option value="pineapple">Pineapple</option>
  <option value="banana">Banana</option>
</select>
</form>

<button type="button" onclick="displayResult()">Display value of selected fruit</button>

</body>
</html>

It seems to be working with no problem.

Thanks in advance!
Mike

What you have is exactly what they wrote.

selectObject = document.getElementById("mySelect")

You are using document.getElementById to get the object that you want the value of.
