Instead of making the value equal to the ID from the db, you could include both the ID and the text value in the value separated by a character:
eg 1~Car 2~Boat... That way you can parse the value, separating on the ~, and get both the ID and text value from the one select box. The only thing to check for would be spaces or special characters in the text value that might stuff it up. >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 6/07/2003 3:45:50 am >>> Hey hey Can anyone suggest a nice way to be able to access both the value of a select box option and the text of a select box option from a form submission? Am doing some client side manipulation of select boxes and am changing the value of the options on the fly. Each option has a value, being the ID from the database and the text being the text value. I want to be able to update the value depending on its ID in the option value. Cant think of anything off the top of my head apart from writing more dam javascript (which I have been doing for the last 24 hours [dam debuging]) Regards Steve --- You are currently subscribed to cfaussie as: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] MX Downunder AsiaPac DevCon - http://mxdu.com/ ------------------------------------------------------- Maddocks Tel: (03) 92880555 International: +61 3 92880555 Fax: (03) 92880666 International: +61 3 92880666 Web: http://www.maddocks.com.au ------------------------------------------------------- The information in this electronic mail is privileged and confidential, intended only for use of the individual or entity named.
