I just tried this unsuccessfully. For the most part, the combo works great, but I can’t retrieve the value. The standard means of document.getElementById(‘comboName’).value returns nothing, nor does $(‘comboName’).value when using jQuery. Is there a simple means that doesn’t rely on Forms? I also tried your getSelectedValue() function, but that doesn’t seem to work either. My code is posted below, please help:

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" lang="en" xml:lang="en">
	<head>
		<title>Initialization</title>
		<link rel="stylesheet" href="combostyle.css" type="text/css" media="screen" />
	</head>

	<script>
		window.dhx_globalImgPath="codebase/imgs/";
	</script>
	<link rel="STYLESHEET" type="text/css" href="codebase/dhtmlxcombo.css">
	<script  src="codebase/dhtmlxcommon.js"></script>
	<script  src="codebase/dhtmlxcombo.js"></script>
	<script  src="j/jquery-1.5.1.js"></script>

	<body>

<h3>From select box</h3>

	<select style='width:200px;'  id="combo_zone1" name="alfa1">
		<option value="1">a00</option>
		<option value="2">a01</option>
		<option value="3">a02</option>
		<option value="4">a10</option>
		<option value="5">a11</option>
		<option value="6">a12</option>
	</select>
	
	<br>
	<input type="button" onclick="javascript:testValue()" value="CLICK ME">
	<br>

	<script>
		var z=dhtmlXComboFromSelect("combo_zone1");
		function testValue() {
			alert(" .... ??? ... " + $('combo_zone1').getSelectedValue());
		}
	</script>
			
			

	</body>
