Call function based on dropdown selection

Question

I have the following dropdown

<select onchange="myFunc(argument here)" id="propertydropdown">
<option value="tags">blah</option>
<option value="tags2">blahblah</option>
<option value="tags3">blahblahblah</option>
</select>

how do i get the argument to be the value of the option currently selected?

Solution

Simply myFunc(this.value), since this == document.getElementByID("propertydropdow") in the handler

yup that's the answer thanks!

how would I do this if I have <input onchange="tcUpdate(argument)" type="color" name="favcolor">

@Lemonio: It's the same actually?

[LemonMan]

i don't think my onchange is working then, though maybe i'm just doing something else wrong

nvm found a workaround

if the text contain spaces I can only access the first word
