Hi all,

What I'm trying to do is set the value of the user-selection from the box as a global variable that I can use outside of the function.

I think the code below should work but it doesn't.... any ideas?

 

<script>
var c1;
   function countryfunc(val) {
       c1=val;
   }
document.getElementById('output').innerHTML = c1;
</script>

<div id="output"></div>

<select name="select" id="select" onchange="countryfunc(this.value);">
       <option value="16">Spain</option>
       <option value="15">Germany</option>
       <option value="14">Netherlands</option>
       <option value="13">Portugal</option>
</select>

 

Thanks a lot in advance!

Can anyone help here? PLEASE!

In the first place stop spam the forum, just wait for an answer!

 

I will give you an example

<select id="leaveCode" name="leaveCode">
 <option value="10">Annual Leave</option>
 <option value="11">Medical Leave</option>
 <option value="14">Long Service</option>
 <option value="17">Leave Without Pay</option>
</select>

 

You can use this JS:

 

function setSelectValue (id, val) {
   document.getElementById(id).value = val;
}
setSelectValue('leaveCode', 14);

 

 

Cheers
