this select list is populated by db query
i have two pieces of code i need looked at to fix the problem
CODE
echo "<select name='LearnedJutsus' id='YourJutsu' onchange='return jutsu()' >";
foreach($learnedJutsuInfo as $v)
{
echo "<option value='$v'>$v</option>";
}
echo "</select></form>";
foreach($learnedJutsuInfo as $v)
{
echo "<option value='$v'>$v</option>";
}
echo "</select></form>";
and
most importantly this one!
CODE
var selection=document.getElementById("x").options[document.getElementById("x").selectedIndex].value;
i did not write the above code it was donated to me but it seems to be not working correctly.
what i need is an explanation on how it works (which would be best since im foggy with jscript)or a fix for it
i basically need it to grab the selected option's information for later use in the program. this is a pivotal part of the system
any help appreciated.
