Hi Thirupathy,

I don't see anything wrong except that there's no event trigger to execute the JavaScript.

Hi Thirupathy,

do you get something when you use .value in the 2nd line ?

Hi Thirupathy,

Here's how I would do this using MooTools syntax (you may need to turn Validation on to make sure that the library is loaded).

<?php
$script = "
window.addEvent('domready', function() {
  var status = $('status');
  status.addEvent('change', function(event) {
    var w = status.selectedIndex;
    var selected_text = status.options[w].text;

    alert(selected_text);
  });
});
";
$doc =& JFactory::getDocument();
$doc->addScriptDeclaration($script);
?>
<select id="status" name="status" >
  <option value="new">--New--</option>
  <option value="in progress">--In progress--</option>
  <option value="delivered">--Delivered--</option>
</select>

All this goes in the Form HTML box.

window.AddEvent makes sure the code isn't run until the page is loaded (this is part of the problem with the existing code).

status.addEvent attaches the code to the select box to make sure it runs whenever the selection changes.
