Hello again,
I've taken one step closer to fixing this problem:
$('#iNodeID').change(function(){$("#sLinkText").val($("#iNodeID").attr("value"))});
returns the value of the selected option, but I still don't know how
to get the text between the option tags; .attr("option") doesn't
return the text.
While I could just append the text to the value attribute and then
strip it serverside before processing the value, I'm reluctant to do
that because some of the option strings are quite long and there are
many options - I don't want to add unnecessary weight to the page.
What am I still missing here? What is my next option?
Thanks,
Bruce

Hi folks,
I'd appreciate some help with a form element task I wish to achieve.
I have a form containing three elements (2 text and 1 select).
[sNewNodeTitle]
[iNodeID] <--- select
[sLinkText]
For reasons that aren't important here, the user will either enter
something into sNewNodeTitle or select an existing item from the
iNodeID dropdown list. What I want to do is have either the entered
text or the text between the iNodeID select tags to be replicated
into sLinkText.
I've achieved the latter with
$('#sNewNodeTitle').keyup(function(){if(this.value.length>0)
$('#sLinkText').val(this.value);});
but I don't know how to get the required info from the select
element. I don't want the value of the selected select element (it
will be an integer) - I need the text.
Can someone please provide me with some direction here.
Thanks,
Bruce
