Hi all

Using JavaScript I need to validate against the contents of the text in 
an <option> element (as opposed to the contents of the value attribute), 
and cannot work out how to do it.  I've tried various things - .value 
gives me the value of the selected value attribute, but if I try 
.innerText or .innerHTML I get the values of every <option> element in 
the dropdown.

How can I achieve this?

Regards

Francis
