My_cb.selected is simply set to capture the value of the current item selected in my change event listener. It's a custom property I set and pass on.
-- shouldn't that be locations_cb.selectedItem? If I do that without selecting anything in my combobox, it captures as [object Object] If I select something with that code, it captures as undefined. SelectedIndex will only return the number of the index at the selected item. Any other ideas?
