Can be either.<br />
With javascript to get the displayed value you use<br />
.options[e.selectedIndex].<wbr />text<br />
<br />
And to get the option value you use<br />
.options[e.selectedIndex].<wbr />value

So the value, if unspecified, would be null?

If you have an HTML select element and an option like &lt;option&gt;--&lt;/option&gt; and that is the default one selected, in the php processing program, does it pass &quot;Null&quot; as the value?<br />
<br />
That is, is $_REQUEST['select name'] == &nbsp;&quot;&quot; ?<br />
<br />
