Capturing dropdown value in javascript

[Rahul]

Hi all,

I have a drop down list like this

<!--V 'FORM:SELECT:room_type'/-->
<!--B 'FORM:LABEL:room_type:Deluxe'-->Deluxe<!--/B-->
<!--B 'FORM:LABEL:room_type:Executive'-->Executive<!--/B-->
<!--B 'FORM:LABEL:room_type:Suite'-->Suite<!--/B-->

I want to capture the value selected in the drop down in a javascript

I am trying like this

var room_type = document.getElementById('room_type').value

but it gives me null .

HOwever with

<input type="text" name="charge" id="charge" value="${v PARAM:charge}$
{/v}" />

i get the value with

var charge = document.getElementById('charge').value

Hi Rahul,

Check the HTML that is generated, then code your JavaScript as you would
for normal handling of the elements based on the generated HTML.

One way to do this is to just save the generated page from the browser
as a static HTML file, then edit it directly until it does what you
need, then finally take the JavaScript code and copy it back to the RIFE
template.

Detailed questions about JavaScript are outside the scope of this
mailing list, but a search on Google should turn up plenty of resources
to help you. :)

All the best,

Josh
