Getting the text from a drop-down box
- by Teifion
This gets the value of whatever is selected in my dropdown menu.
document.getElementById('newSkill').value
I cannot however find out what property to go after for the text that's currently displayed by the drop down menu. I tried "text" then looked at W3Schools but that didn't have the answer, does anybody here know?
For those not sure, here's the HTML for a drop down box.
<select name="newSkill" id="newSkill"
<option value="1"A skill</option
<option value="2"Another skill</option
<option value="3"Yet another skill</option
</select
Thanks
