Output Label instead of Value

Hi Everyone

The code that I am working on is here: http://www.payitforwardfriends.com/converter.html

I'm trying to make it so that in the output when you convert from one substance to another it says what you are converting from (as in it says 1 cup of flour).

The problem is "substance" is for the value, and not for the label. How do I make the label show up instead?

Currently, it's coming up as [object HTMLSelectElement].

Thanks so much!

Same way it is done for the other <select>s.

Look at them:

Code:

var inunittext = inunit.options[inunit.selectedIndex].text;

var outunittext = outunit.options[outunit.selectedIndex].text;

var densunittext = densunit.options[densunit.selectedIndex].text;

Code:

var substance = document.getElementById("substance");

var substanceAsText = substance.options[substance.selectedIndex].text;

I used substanceAsText because you already have a variable named substanceText used for another purpose.
