can't get value from select box! Help!

[Sharon]

Hello,
Why is it that I do get the value from my text box but I cannot get
the value from my select box which is located in the same form? This
is the code I use:

var text1 = frmMain.filter1 txt.value;
var sel1 = frmMain.filter1 sct.options[frmMain.filter1 sct.selectedInd ex].value;


<form name="frmMain">
<table align="center" id="Table1" width="600px"">
<tr>
<td>
<SELECT NAME="Filter1sc t">
<OPTION VALUE="fclient" >client</OPTION>
<OPTION VALUE="fid">sle utelveld</OPTION>
<OPTION VALUE="fusernam e">username</OPTION>
<OPTION VALUE="fname">n aam</OPTION>
<OPTION VALUE="fcity">w oonplaats</OPTION>
<OPTION VALUE="fdebno"> debiteurnr</OPTION>
</SELECT>
</td>
<td>
<input type="text" name="filter1tx t" value="All"><br >
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>

Hope someone can help me, thanks a lot! Sharon

var sel1 =
frmMain.filter1 sct.options[frmMain.filter1 sct.selectedInd ex].value;

<SELECT NAME="Filter1sc t">

You should be getting the error: "frmMain.filter 1sct.options" is not an
object

It's a classic case of incorrect case.

Re: can't get value from select box! Help!

Well, actually, I found another error and now it's working properly...
The thing was that first I let users select the column they want to
filter from the select box and then fill in the value on which they want
it to be filtered. So the focus shifts from the select box to the text
box. When I just use
frmMain.filter1 sct.value;
I actually get the right result. Thanks anyway!!! Sharon
