Getting text value from dropdown list in form

[Duncan McLean]

Hi

I have a form definition which contains the following test selection list

<fd:field id="prodType" required="true">
        <fd:label>Type of product:</fd:label>
        <fd:datatype base="string"/>
        <fd:selection-list>
                <fd:item value="val1">
                        <fd:label>Text 1</fd:label>
                </fd:item>
                <fd:item value="val2">
                        <fd:label>Text 2</fd:label>
                </fd:item>
                <fd:item value="val3">
                        <fd:label>Text 3</fd:label>
                </fd:item>
        </fd:selection-list>
                <fd:on-value-changed>
                <javascript>
                        var value = event.source.value;
                        var myTextField = 
event.source.lookupWidget("../myTextField");
                        myTextField.setValue(value);
                </javascript>
        </fd:on-value-changed>
</fd:field>

I want to be able to write out the text of the selected list to a hidden
field (in the case "myTextField") when the value changes.

Currently the code takes the value - so if I select Text 2 for instance,
it writes out "val2" to the hidden field (obviously because of:
var value = event.source.value;).

Can I capture the text in the dropdown list in a similar way so, as per
the example above, "Text 2" gets written to the hidden field no "val2"?

Thanks

Duncan
