Can someone show me how to use the follow syntax style in javascript to return the selectIndex.value? What seems obvious does not work here.

I can do the standard getElementById() approach, but that takes about 10-lines of code to do the same thing. This works fine when I wante the text value but I cannot figure out how to do this to get the selectedIndex.value.

Anyone know how to do this?

Best regards,
Jon
