in <SELECT><OPTION> list?

Use the 'text' property
---
--- cut here: begin --------------------------------------------------
<HTML>
<BODY>
<FORM
NAME = "form1"
>
<SELECT
NAME = "list1"
ONCHANGE = ' alert( document.forms.form1.list1.options[
document.forms.form1.list1.selectedIndex ].text );'
>
<OPTION>Your option 1</OPTION>
<OPTION>Your option 2</OPTION>
</SELECT>
</FORM>
</BODY>
</HTML>
--- cut here: end ----------------------------------------------------
---
---
Note:
the 'value' property does not give a result here
(it returns an empty string)
e.g.
alert( document.forms.form1.list1.options[
document.forms.form1.list1.selectedIndex ].value );
