Get TEXT from select box

[DanLuevano]

Hi,

I have a select box with some options that are shown, but when I select some option I get the value of the selection, not the name for example:

option in the select box # 1 is "Main avenue 133" but value of this selection is "001". I need to get the "Main avenue..." value.

thank you in advance.

Daniel

Client side (Client Script) you can do something like this... Assuming you are on the incident form and your choice field's name is 'your_choice_field.'

var myVal = gel('incident.your_choice_field');
alert(myVal.options[myVal.selectedIndex].text);

Server side (Business Rule):
var myVal = current.your_choice_field.getDisplayValue()

thank you, that solve my question 🙂

Note that relying on either in a multi-language environment is ill-advised 🙂
