Dynamic HTML: The Definitive Reference

Name

index — NN 2 IE 3 DOM n/a

Synopsis

Read-only

Returns the zero-based index value of the current option object within the collection of options of the SELECT element. The select object’s selectedIndex property returns the index value of the option that is currently selected. Since you usually access an OPTION object via its place in the options array, there is little need to reference this property.

Example

var firstValue = document.forms[0].stateList.options[0].index

Value

Integer.

Default

None.
