Where have the select options gone?

Show all headers | View raw

Hi,

I'm puzzled by the following or more likely I don't know better.

I have this form with a select element and then I want to see what is selected on the same page, code is like this:

<select id="me">
 <option>apple
 <option>orange
  ...
</select>

<span id="findme"></span>

js after user has selected the above:

if (document.getElementById('me')) {
 var ee = document.getElementById('me');
 var eev = ee.options[ee.selectedIndex].value;	
 document.getElementById('findme').innerHTML = eev;
 }
else {alert('WHY me field NOT FOUND');}

I expect to see the span id to display the value of the selected option
but I get the alert instead, what's wrong?

Thanks.
