How do I get the selected value of a combobox using javascript?

[Acadia]

I can get an instance of the combobox but can't seem to get the currently selected value using Javascript.

Thanks

Hi Acadia,

Try the get_value() method for getting the SelectedValue and get_text() for SelectedItem text.

JavaScript:

<script type="text/javascript">
function  getSelected()
{
    var combo = $find('<%=RadComboBox1.ClientID %>');
    var value = combo.get_value();
    var text = combo.get_text();
    alert("Selected Text  :" + text);
    alert("Selected Value :" + value);
}
</script>

Thanks Princy - I had actually ended up using this

 

 

var combo = <%= radcmbWEDates.ClientID %>;

 

 

var combotext = document.getElementById(combo.InputID).value;

It gets me the text, which is fine.  I had tried the two methods you suggested and for some reason they were always null.
