 Possibly off-topic VBSCRIPT question.

Hi All,

Sorry if this is off-topic, but I am having problems using the VBScript
newsgroups on news.microsoft.com. I figured maybe someone here could help
with what should be a simple problem.

What I am trying to do is create a simple price quote page using VBscript.
The entire page is enclosed below. Where I have problems is accessing the
value of selections withing HTML select boxes. Everytime I try to set some
string variables to the values of the selections, MS Explorer gives me a
"Object doesn't support this property or method" error. This happens during
this line in the script:

intCpuType = Myform.cmbCpuType.Selected

Thanks in advance for any help you can give.

                                                        Sincerely,
                                                        Don Whitlow

p.s. Pricing in this form is just for testing. :)

I believe the following is the correct syntax according to Micrsoft's IE
Object Model:

        Document.Myform.cmbCpuType.Options(Index).Selected
        where Index is the element in your list.

The bad news is that Microsft's syntax doesn't work yet-hopefully the next
release will correct this.
