strange behavior when changing select's value

Jul 20 '05, 09:53 AM

Hi,

I expect to see "foo" for the 2nd alert. Instead, the value of select is
cleared. Am I missing something? Thanks for your help.

<html>
<head><title>Fo o</title>
<script language="javas cript">

</script>
</head>
<body>
<form name="control" method="POST">
<select name="titleFont ">
<option value="sans-serif">Arial</option>
<option value="serif">T imes</option>
</select> 
<input type="submit" name="control" value="Submit" onclick="return
foo()"/>
</form>
</body>
</html>

Well, I found out that I need to change the value of the selected index.
Interesting indeed! Here goes:

.....
var index = document.contro l.titleFont.sel ectedIndex;
document.contro l.titleFont[index].value = 'foo';
alert(document. control.titleFo nt.value);
.....

Thanks
