AW: [Javascript] readout option and compare

[Peter Brunone]

   You could do it like this (assuming you can pass the select object and the string to the function):

function getText(theSelect, theString) {
   return theSelect.options[theSelect.selectedIndex].text.indexOf(theString);
} 

...or something more tailored to your needs, but this is the basic method.

Cheers,

Peter
