DHTML VB6.0 Select Value

[MXGue]

Hi

I'm working with VB 6.0 and DHTML.

I populated a select at runtime with data from a database.

But now I want to know how to receive a selected data item.
If I doubleclick the selection I want to get back the selected item.
I tried it with the selectedIndex command, but I receive only the index position, but not the item value. With outerText I get a long string containing all item values.
At the moment I am deleting those items, which are not selected and then use the outerText command to get the item value, but there must be an easier way.

Can anyone help me?

You need to use the value of the selectedindex:

<SELECT onchange="window.location.href=this.options[this.selectedIndex].value">
  <OPTION VALUE="http://www.microsoft.com/ie">Internet Explorer</OPTION>
  <OPTION VALUE="http://www.microsoft.com">Microsoft Home</OPTION>
  <OPTION VALUE="http://msdn.microsoft.com">Developer Network</OPTION>
</SELECT>

Thank you but I'm looking for something else.

I use VB 6.0 DHTML, no java script, vb script or html.

The command I'm looking for must be in vb 6.0 and should
return the string of the selected item.

Any ideas ?
