[WSG] How to send two values to javascript

I have examples using one value onchange=showSubcategory(this.value) from a form to a script. What if I need to send two values one from the current element in the form and one from another element Thanks -- Michael Horowitz Your Computer Consultant http://yourcomputerconsultant.com

Re: [WSG] How to send two values to javascript

The issue is that selects themselves don't have values. You notice the value is on the option tag, not the select. So you can't just get the .value of the element with ID 'subcategory'; you need to get the value of the currently selected item OF that select box. That can be done as an
