Getting selected value on page load

[Blop]

Hi, for 2 hours now I'm trying to get a selected value on page load...
I'm using jquery and I ve read every page about radcombox on client-side...

here's what I do.
Some one to tell me what's wrong?
Thanx

  $j(document).ready(function() {
      var combo = getElem("<%= myCombobox.ClientID %>");
      var item = combo.get_selectedItem();
      var val = item.get_value();
//code...
});

Hello,

When the document ready event is fired the client side object of the RadComboBox is not yet initialized, this is why the pageLoad event should be used instead. Also the $find function should be used to obtain a references to the client-side object of the control.

Kind regards,
