To get to the actual DOM element, you'd use: alert( $(this).get(0).selectedIndex ); -- or -- alert( $(this)[0].selectedIndex ); (Where 0 would return the first element found--replace the 0 with what ever array position you want to retrieve.) jQuery returns an array of matching elements--even if there's only one match found. -Dan _______________________________________________ jQuery mailing list [email protected] http://jquery.com/discuss/
