ComboBox Selection using getElementById

[DustpanDave]

Hi All.

I have a ComboBox that has, say, 5 items in it. These display as text in the Combo box but are stored as integers in the DB.

How do i get the Text value rather than the ID value of this selected item in the combo box?

I am trying to display and hide a certain text box when a certain item in the combo box is selected.

i beleive it has something to do with options.value part?

MY CODE SO FAR:
function HideTitleONChange(evt)
{
var ctlState = document.getElementById("ProfCrdTitleID");
var ctlOtherTitle = document.getElementById("Title");

if ( ctlState.options.value == "2"){
ctlOtherTitle.style.visibility = "visible";
ctlOtherTitle.style.value =="";}
else{
ctlOtherTitle.style.visibility = "hidden";
ctlOtherTitle.style.value =="";}
return true;
}
var ctlState = document.getElementById("ProfCrdTitleID");
addEvent(ctlState, "change", HideTitleONChange);

Thanks Dave

>ctlState.options.value
That makes not much sense. Instead, it is this.
[tt]ctlState.options[red][ctlState.selectedIndex][/red].value //for value
ctlState.options[red][ctlState.selectedIndex][/red].text //for text you asked for
[/tt]
