get combo box name

[PQSIK]

Can someone tell me how to get the name of a combo box

with javascript.

i.e. this.combo box name

[glenngv]

<select name="mycombo" onclick="alert(this.name)">

could you explain further what you actually want to accomplish?

Hi, thank for your reply.

sorry for not explaining it better.

the combo boxes are created with values from a database.

<select size="1" name="<% Response.write RS("DataNumber") %>" onchange="Assign(this);">
<% dim c
for c = 1 to 10 %>
<option><% c %></option>
<% next
%>
</select>

I then call this function.

function Assign(a)
{
y is for the name of the combo box

y = a.name;
t = a.options[a.selectedIndex].value;
s = document.verify.y.value;
document.verify.y.value = t * y;
}

I am trying to get the value of the combo box and * with the value in a text box.

Is that better.

PQSIK.

what are you trying to do there? Change the value of the combo box? But you don't set the value of the options here:

<%
for c = 1 to 10 %>
<option><% c %></option>
<% next
%>

it should have been:

<%
for c = 1 to 10 %>
<option value="<% =c%>"><% =c%></option>
<% next
%>


please explain what exactly the Assign() function should do.
