Hello, I hope that someone would be able to help me to solve this simple problem.

My goal is to get the value in the array from selection drop down list.

Basically, I create an Array in Javascript and a selection drop down list in the body.

<script type="text/javascript">
var even = new Array(2, 4, 6);
</script>
.
.
.
<select id="evenNumbers">
     <option value="1">two</option>
     <option value="2">four</option>
     <option value="3">six</option>
</select>

My question is how can I get the value in the Array if I select the option from the drop down list? e.g. when I select "two" from the drop down list, but I can get the value of "2" in the array in order to do some calculation.

Thanks.

You can do
even = document.getElementById("evenNumbers").value;
It will give you "2" if you select "two" from your dropdown list.
