Can I pass a select value as a param to an onchange function?
javascript, onchange
Solution
Just pass `this` as parameter, then get the value from it :
function myFunction(current_select){
alert( current_select.value );
}
<select onchange="myFunction(this)">
<option value="op1">Op1</option>
<option value="op2">Op2</option>
<option value="op3">Op3</option>
</select>
Or pass the value directly :
function myFunction(selected_value){
alert( selected_value );
}
<select onchange="myFunction(this.value)">
<option value="op1">Op1</option>
<option value="op2">Op2</option>
<option value="op3">Op3</option>
</select>
Problem
Is this possible using some combination of javascript and html? ``` <select onchange="myFunction(valueOfThisSelector)"> <option value="op1">Op1</option> <option value="op2">Op2</option> <option value="op3">Op3</option> </select> ``` I would prefer if the solution is achieved without using element ids, because I want to be able to apply this to many selectors. If the value reference can be achieved in the `myFunction()` script that is also an option, so long as it doesn't use `document.getElementById()`.
