I Have a drop down listbox, Once the form has been submited I need to get the VALUE & LABEL.

I used request.form("listboxname") but this only gives me the value selected

[u]How do I get both the Value & Label from the drop down list?</u>
Hopefully it can be done with javascript/ASP or VB script.

thanks for any help?

You can't do it using pure HTML but one way using JavaScript would be to set a hidden field with the value: in your script block: Now your server will pick up the text part in lstUserText and the value part in lstUsers.

Change the hidden element to a text one if you want to debug.

Thanks!

The javascript does not seem to be working, when I select an item from the list it does not show up in the text box.
I did changed hidden to text. thanks again

<form name="myForm" onsubmit="addOptionText();">
<select name="lstUsers" id="lstUsers">
  <option value="1">Joe</option>
  <option value="2">Pete</option>
  <option value="3">Steve</option>
</select>
<input type="text" name="lstUserText" id="txtUserText">
</form>

<script language="JavaScript" type="text/JavaScript">

function addOptionText()
{
  var lst = document.getElementById("lstUsers");
  var txtHidden = document.getElementById("txtUserText");
  txtHidden.value = lst.options[lst.selectedIndex].text;
   return true;
}
</script>

It will only change when you submit the form. If you want it to change when you choose a selection then remove the form's onsubmit handler and add onchange="addOptionText();" to the select element.
