FAcing difficulty in retreiving a selected option value.

Hi,
I am using following code--

<td>
<centre>
<select id=\"extenddays\" size=\"1\" name=\"extenddays\">
<option value\=\"2\"> 2 </option>
<option value\=\"4\"> 4 </option>
<option value\=\"7\"> 7 </option>
</select>
<a href=?ext_days=\"extendform.extenddays.value\" & ?extfid=" . $data->{'fid'} ." \" >
<INPUT TYPE=\"SUBMIT\" NAME=\"extend\" VALUE=\"extend\" />
</a>
</centre>
</td>


Here, I want that when I click on 'extend' button, it should redirect to the url given in the href.. But while forming url run time , it is not retrieving the value of "extenddays" ( which is selected option value)..

Please help.

You can't insert bits of javascript inline like that. That value is literally 'extendform.extenddays.value', not 'whatever the value is'.

You have to change it later, like


link.href="?ext_days="+extendform.extenddays.value;

For the beginning: What's the use of those backslashes? \

<td>
<centre>
<select id=\"extenddays\" size=\"1\" name=\"extenddays\">
...

The OP doesn't make it clear, but I gather it's within a PHP echo.

shashishinde, post the HTML generated code, not the PHP nor ASP nor whiechever server-side language code. JavaScript interacts only with the HTML elements. We need to see them.
