RE: [PHP] javascript problem

If your field type input you could refer to document.addstudent.login_id.value. But in this case, you have to refer to it like this: document.addstudent.login_id.options[document.addstudent.login_id.selectedIn dex].value Using with() saves you some code: with(document.addstudent.login_id) { selection=options[selectedIndex].value } I haven't try it so don't get mad if I am wrong, but you can check it in developer.netscape.com, look for the javascript reference.
