Hi Everybody,

I have a drop down list which has some fixed number of commands. I need to show or hide commands depending upon the selection. I have a javascript which does this.

But, I need to remember the selected option for further processing. I have a hidden field which holds the value of current selected option.

How do I change the value for selected option onChange?

Thanks,

sa

onChange call a js function that sets the hidden form field value... form1.hiddenFormField.value = newValue ...

if you want to actually select the drop down option, onChange you need to iterate through the dropdown (using javascript) and make the select when the iteration hits that value (you'll need to look up source codes online).
