Look into myForm.selectBoxName.options[myForm.selectBoxName.selectedIndex].value (seems like a lot, but you have to get tricky to also deal with NN 4.x) Cutter http://www.falcon-knives.com ----Original Message Follows---- From: "Dan Costea" <costea.dan at ssi-schaefer.ro> Reply-To: javascript at LaTech.edu To: <javascript at LaTech.edu> Subject: [Javascript] default value for combobox Date: Wed, 20 Mar 2002 12:27:53 +0200 Hi, If I want to find the default value for an editbox (<input type="text">), I use the "defaultValue" attribute: editbox.defaultValue; for the checkbox or radio, I use "defaultChecked". But how can I find the default text written in a combobox?
