how to get selected value

[gedas]

hey,


i have jsp file that contains drop-down list once the value is selected from drop down list one of the javascript methods gets invoked that alerts me with what has been selected.

what i need is once the value has been selected it would be sent to a my java class to one of the methods and the value returned by the method should be alerted back to the user
could this be done?


any suggestions will be greatly appreciated
thank you

Without submitting the form? Read about how to use AJAX.

Set some option value for each and every option,
after that when u call it from js, check the value of the field(dropdown option) is matched with what value....
e.g.

<select namer="xyz" value="">
<option selected value="">select</option>
<option value="a">HI</option>
<option value="b">Hello</option>
</select>

js:-

if(document.formname.xyz.value="a")
{
alert("Selected option is HI");
}

thats all.......
