Re: Can't get value of select option from dynamically created form

Hi Ricky:



I was able to get the month by some direction of  my post,
What you gave me in your reply was what was already selected.  I need to get from the fomr what the user selected.


 var x = document.dynamicform.expirationMonth.selectedIndex;
  var gotit = document.dynamicform.expirationMonth.options[x].value;;  //this works


note this lacked results for several reasons one being appending everyhing correctly,

How ever the same does not work for year as the previous is an array if you notice from code I added.

The year is another matter.  I getting a strange result of something that is no where in my option example  AA

code
 var selectYear = document.createElement('select');
      selectYear.name="expirationYear";
      selectYear.id="expirationYear";
      selectYear.name="expirationYear";
         for(var i=2013; i<=2024; i++)
      {
         var yr = i;
         yr = document.createElement('option');
          yr.text=i;
          yr.name="year";
          yr.value=yr;
          selectYear.appendChild(yr);
      }
     



                                 var y=document.getElementById("expirationYear").selectedIndex;
                          
                                var snachit =  document.getElementsByTagName("option")[y].value;

I get a strange result for year AA in my alert when I choose something from drop down option. WOW what is this1
I know this is a challenge , I try not to put simple things that one should be able to figure out.  But once  I have done research and spinned
my wheels for a while I will ask a question in hopes the result will help someone else.

Sometimes when an answer does not come quickly you are forced to reason it out ,
if  that does not work walk away come back and step through it , else go to the pros and ask questions.


Thanking you in advance,
PH
