The great thing about variants

[plenderj]

I never liked variants, until I just tried writing out a piece of javascript and it worked perfectly

function doProductAreaChange() {
	var strSelectedItem = document.search.elements['selProductArea'];
	strSelectedItem = strSelectedItem.options[strSelectedItem.selectedIndex];
	strSelectedItem = strSelectedItem.text;
	alert(strSelectedItem );
}

Quite please with myself

Is it just me or does JavaScript only support variant variables...?

Or is this a lame joke and is this 'one of those days'

[plenderj]

I think both JavaScript and VBScript support only variants...

should .text not be .value??

also, you can define variables in JS (not sure about VBscript)

bool = new Boolean
ar = new Array()
etc.

Yeah, it is handy though.

You can define variables in vbScript, and you can even give them types, they are just ignored.
