capturing mulitple values from an html select tag

[jnroche]

my form is<form>

<select name="slctreasons">

<option id="<?" value="<?php echo $reasonID; ?>" ><?php echo $myrows['reason']; ?></option>

</form>the entire list of reasons is captured in that option tag, in a loop ofcourse, to list down all the reason inside the database table.my problem is i want to get both reasonID and reason text itself in javascript. my initial javascript code is:document.getElementById('slctreasons').value this line only gets whatever the value in the selected option is, which is the reasonID! I also wanted the text itself....i dont know much about javascriptany help thanks

It's part of the HTML DOM.

var select = document.getElementById("slctreasons");var option = select.options[select.selectedIndex];var text = option.text;var value = option.value;
