Drop Down (Text) reference

Avatar

Level 2

Hello All,

I have a drop down with both assigned... Text and Values.

I can refer to the Values, such as:

var value = dropdown.rawValue

...but I don't know how to refer to the "Text" value (Text value as displyed on the drop-down)

any ideas?

Thanks ~ Ken

You can use the formattedValue property of the DDlist.
