Question

I have a Select tag in the form in which i am giving the Static Options,
My problem is to know “how to retrieve the value which i have selected”,I dont want to use any Button to submit the value which i have selected.So i want to go with the “Onchange event ” of select tag.

here’s the code by which am populating the select tag:

 print qq[<td>Records PerPage</td>];
 print qq[<td><select name="'records'" size="1"><option value="2">2<option value="4"
   selected>4<option value="6">6<option value="10">10</select></td></tr>];

Please do help me Find the solution. Thank You

EDIT: WITH ONCHANGE

Ok to get your value from a combo box use javascript

   function getCombo1(sel) {
       var value = sel.options[sel.selectedIndex].value;  
   }
   <select id="combo1" onchange="getCombo1(this)">
   <option value="">Select combo</option>
   <option value="Value1">Text1</option>
   <option value="Value2">Text2</option>
   <option value="Value3">Text3</option>
   </select>

Now every time a user selects or changes the value of the combo box, a function named ‘sel’ will be called to update the variable that stores this value.

Hope this helps you.
Let me know if it does.
