Question

I have the following code:

<select>
<option value="blablabla">Test</option>
<!-- ... -->
</select>

But I want to know if I can set the “value” attribute of the option tag, as a reference to an object (in javascript).

Answer 1

The option value must be a “string” (that string can be a number).

What you want to do is a bit unusual but can be done (but I think there are better ways to achieve what you want to do)… You could serialize your object and set it in the value but that would be odd.

You could also index these references in an array and then set it’s index in the value of the option…
