I have a dropdown list that calls a vbscript.The issue is that when I try to get the value of the drop down list I get “object doesnt support property” or “method error”.

<select onchange='callMe()' id='selectMe'>
<option value='1'>1</option>
<option value='3'>3</option>
<option value='2'>2</option>
</select>

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="VBScript">
Sub callMe()
MsgBox(selectMe.value)
End Sub
</SCRIPT>

Can anyone point me in the correct direction please

    You can use W3Schools reference on the HTML DOM Select Object.

    • Use selectMe.options
    • Use selectMe.selectedIndex

    When using VBScript, you will get implicit events base on the object’s id so you don’t need to explicitly call them (i.e. selectMe_onchange). I’ve reworked your example as follows:

    <html>
  <head>
    <title>VBScript Select event</title>
    <script LANGUAGE="VBScript">
      Sub selectMe_onchange
      MsgBox selectMe.options(selectMe.selectedIndex).text
      End Sub
    </script>
  </head>
  <body>
    <select id='selectMe'>
      <option value='1'>1</option>
      <option value='3'>3</option>
      <option value='2'>2</option>
    </select>
  </body>
</html>
