problem on jsp select box and javascript

[KelvinWongYW]

i have a select box and the option is like below:

<option value='1111' txn='PYM' accType='C'>111232</option>

while i would like to get the accType in javascript, i use:
document.mainform.dacc.options[1].accType

but i failed to get value and it alert undefine.
however, getting the value is successful:
document.mainform.dacc.options[1].value

does anyone know how can i get acctype?
i have try quite a lot method

thanks

i have a select box and the option is like below:

<option value='1111' txn='PYM' accType='C'>111232</option>

This is (very) invalid markup.

while i would like to get the accType in javascript, i use:
document.mainform.dacc.options[1].accType

That should be:

document.forms.mainform.elements.dacc.options[1].accType

But that won't help your problem.

but i failed to get value and it alert undefine.
however, getting the value is successful:
document.mainform.dacc.options[1].value

I would say try getAttribute, but it won't help if your current
attempt fails in IE (IE's getAttribute implementation reads properties
rather than attributes.)

it work if i use getattribute in both firefox and ie 6.0

That's what I meant by "But that won't help your problem." It is just
the most compatible way to reference a form element.

it work if i use getattribute in both firefox and ie 6.0

Then it must have worked all along in IE as the behavior is the same
when using getAttribute.

You are going to have trouble when you try to define invalid
attributes.
Perhaps using id and class attributes will help instead.
