This things works perfectly
<select name="selectbox" onchange="alert(this.value)">
But I want to select the text. I tried in this way
<select name="selectbox" onchange="alert(this.text)">
It shows undefined.
I found how to use DOM to get text. But I want to do this in this way, I means like using just this.value.
should provide you with the “displayed” text of the selected item.
this.value, like you said, merely provides the value of thevalueattribute.
