Get innertext of a specific value

[PunkoHead]

Hi Guys,

I have a dropdown in IE with values:

<option value="Chocolate"> You selected chocolate! </option>
<option value="Cheese"> You selected cheese! </option>
<option value="Oreo"> You selected oreo! </option>

I have a simple code that is selecting the item in the dropdown per value:

$user = "Cheese"
$oSelectBox = _IEGetObjByName ($oIE, "food_list")
_IEAction($oSelectBox, "focus")
_IEFormElementOptionSelect($oSelectBox, $user, 1)

What I need is to retrieve the innertext of the current selected value. So in the example above, I need it to return "You selected cheese!" in a variable $selected.

How can I do this?

Try something like --

$sText = $oSelectBox.selectedOptions[0].text

This assumes that there can only be one option selected at a time.

Thanks, I got it working
