RE: help with drop-downs and onChange

[Hugo Ahlenius]

you can pass a reference the current object in the onChange event, as
this.

select... >

function setDept1(selectbox) {
	alert selectbox.selectedIndex;
}

Untested code, a shot from the hip -- but you get the concept.. ?
:)

Or you can pass the name explicitly.

Then in your function use this as the reference.

RE: help with drop-downs and onChange

[Tyler Clendenin]

I use one of two ways, but i prefer it to use the event object.

 
ex.
select name=select1 id=select1
>
blah blah
/select

select name=select2 id=select2
>
blah blah
/select

function setDept()
{
 mySelect = event.srcElement;
 if(mySelect.selectedIndex != 0) {
myindex=mySelect.selectedIndex;
var document.frm.hidselect.value = mySelect.options[myindex].value;
 }
 return true;
}
