Hi.

I have a form that contains a <SELECT> field among others. I'm using POST:

<FORM NAME="iview_select" METHOD="POST"
ACTION="http://HOUDS1201.ac.com/ttportal/iview_runtime/Dispatcher.asp";>

<SELECT ID="selected_iview" onchange="this.form.submit()" SIZE="1">
<OPTION SELECTED>Mor dispatcher test1 - Title<OPTION>Mor
Dispatcher Test2 - Title</SELECT>

<INPUT TYPE=HIDDEN NAME="iview_group" VALUE=1>
<INPUT TYPE=HIDDEN NAME="NumOfLines" VALUE=5>
<INPUT TYPE=HIDDEN NAME="URL"
VALUE=http://HOUDS1201.ac.com/TTPortal>;
<INPUT TYPE=HIDDEN NAME="IIS" VALUE=HOUDS1201.ac.com>
<INPUT TYPE=HIDDEN NAME="orig_iview_id" VALUE=743>

</FORM>

1. How do I address the SELECTED value of the SELECT field in the
destination page ?

2. If I want to add an INPUT TYPE=HIDDEN field that will contain the
SELECTED value, what should be this new added field's VALUE ?

Thanks,

give your select a name, the same as the id then:

document.iview_select.selected_iview.value

Thanks for your answer.

However, I don't see how this addresses my situation.

The SELECT field, being a part of a submited form, is being POSTed on
submition. I need to address the SELECTed value in the target (ACTION) page
to which the form is being submitted.

In other words, assuming the FORM NAME="myform" and the SELECT
NAME="myselect", what should I write where in order to be able to address the
selected value in the DESTINATION page, using variable myselect there ?

Thanks,
