Question

If i have a dropdown list that looks like this:

<select id="select">
<option value="Armoire">Armoire</option>
<option value="Bridge Bed">Brigde Bed</option>
<option value="Bunk Bed">Bunk Bed</option>
</select>

Is it possible to get the value at an specific position? For example:

var b=select.getValueAt(1); 

so that b would equal to “Bridge Bed”. That would be the right line for regular java code. Is there anyway to do this using javascript?

Thanks in advance,

Answer 1

The select element has an property called options which is an array of all the option tags it contains
To get the value of element at index one use

var b = document.getElementById('select').options[1].value

Select Object
