JavaScript

Hello,

How can I read the Options of the following list and then reprint

  <select name="mylist">
    <option value="AP">
      Apple
    </option>

    <option value="AR">
      Apricot
    </option>

    <option value="BA">
      Banana
    </option>
  </select>


"AP"=>"Apple",
"AR"=>"Apricot",
"BA"=>"Banana",

Try to translate the code web site

I don’t understand!!

This works. The result is an alert() which gives the name of the fruit and the value of the option. You can modify the output to meet your needs.
