I'm using

CODE

print "\t\t\t<option value=\"".$entry."\" label=\"".str_replace("\t\t", "", $tree['HOUSTONCAT']['CATNAME']['VALUE'])."\">".$tree['HOUSTONCAT']['CATDESC']['VALUE'] ."</option>\n";

I know how to get value of an option, and label, but what's in between the option tags? I thought it was .text but that shows the value too.

Thanks!

HTML

<option value="HIDDENVALUE">SHOWNTEXT</option>

Uh? What is that for? I asked what is it called in JS between the option tags?

EX:
LABEL: this.options[this.selectedIndex].label
VALUE: this.options[this.selectedIndex].value
(and also this.options[this.selectedIndex].text I've learned)
<OPTION>this</OPTION>: ??

it should be .text and .value is the value="" attribute maybe it doesn't work because you have the label attribute? I just tested the label attribute in the major 3 browsers and none of them use it

That's the thing, I want to have 3 attributes to it.
Value is set to the filename of the file it's showing, label is set to what I want to show, and what's in between the two tags is the description of the file, all three which I need.

Well that seems weird but anyway, what error does the JS give you?

No error, but .text shows the value and not the text inbetween. I want it to show the text in between.

I set up an example, I hope that is what you mean: http://www.nashweb.de/test/select.html

Select an option of the select box and an alert will popup containing the text between selected the option tag. I just tested in in Firefox; it´s done via:

CODE

this.options[this.selectedIndex].firstChild.nodeValue

.innerHTML?
