I have a dropdown list which looks like this:
<select id="cityID">
<option value="mission">Mission</option>
<option value="bakersfield">Bakersfield</option>
<option value="knoxville">Knoxville</option>
</select>
And my code to get the value is:
var select = document.getElementById('cityID');
var text = select.options[select.selectedIndex].text;
text.innerHTML = cityID.value;
text.onchange = function(e) {
text.innerHTML = e.target.value;
}
The value always chooses the first item. How can I get it to accept the cityID and change the page,
I'm sure its a formatting or typo or wrong value ?
var select = document.getElementById('cityID');
var textEl = document.getElementById("text")
text.innerHTML = select.value;
select.onchange = function(e) {
textEl.innerHTML = e.target.value;
}<select id="cityID">
<option value="mission">Mission</option>
<option value="bakersfield">Bakersfield</option>
<option value="knoxville">Knoxville</option>
</select>
<p id="text"></p>You could achieve this using addEventListener also.
var select = document.getElementById('cityID');
var textEl = document.getElementById("text")
select.addEventListener("change", (e) => {
textEl.innerText = e.target.value;
})
