Problem with getting Value of HTMLSelect element?

Question

I am totally puzzled by why IE is not correctly getting the value of a select dropdown list. The following code works perfectly fine in Firefox.

fsorry, the function is:

function a(){
var s = document.getElementsByTagName("SELECT");
alert(s[0].value);
}

sorry, the function is:

function a(){
var s = document.
getElementsByTagName
("SELECT");

alert(s[0].value);
}

Answer 1

Why do you need to specify the class?

All my codes simply use:


Value1
Value2


**Edit** ahh, so you are trying to send the selected value to a javascript? I'm sorry man, my bad, but I don't know much about java... I strickly use php + html

Answer 2

why dont you try giving an ID to select tag and use getElementByID("MyID") it will work. hope it will work
