Javascript help needed.. Test your knowledge!

Hi every1.

I got one question.

I have my HTML page. I have a .js file . It is a just a combobox with a few values. I inlcude the .js file in my HTML page like <Script language = "javascript" Src = "jsfile.js"> .

The trick is it ACTUALLY works

. I see the combobox everything. BUT how do I refernence the values/ onchange event of the combo box.

In VBScript it works by using (in the HTML page)
<Script ....>

Sub Combo1_onchange()
msgbox combo1.value
End sub

</Script>

But how do you do it in Javascript. I tried using the onchange in the .js file but to no avail

Thanks

THanks for the reply

You answered my question and gave me a great idea.

But can I also ask.

HTML Page :
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<META NAME="GENERATOR" Content="Microsoft Visual Studio 6.0">
<TITLE></TITLE>
</HEAD>

<Script Language = "Vbscript">

sub select1_onchange

msgbox select1.value

End Sub

</Script>

<BODY>

<P> </P>

<Script language = "javascript" src = "comb.js"> </Script>

</BODY>
</HTML>
----------------------------------------------------------------

comb.js

document.writeln('<SELECT id=select1 name=select1>')
document.writeln('<OPTION value = "one"> 1 </OPTION>')
document.writeln('<OPTION value = "two"> 2 </OPTION>')
document.writeln('<OPTION value = "three"> 3 </OPTION>')
document.writeln('</SELECT>')

-----------------------------------------------------------------

P.S sorry about the spacing.

The HTML page vbscript works. But how will I do the same in Javascript. I tried puting a function in the .js file but it doesn't work. How do I reference the select1 box?

Thanks
