    Hi, my site has a drop down menu on it and i am using a JS script to display the chosen text from the drop down menu at the bottom of a page... my question is... the JS script reads the text in the value="" below and not the text in between the <option> tags

    <option value="sample_text">Sample Text</option>

    Is it ok to display normal text (it is not 2 words instead of 1) in the value="" for example <option value="Sample Text">Sample Text</option>

    Thanks in advance for your help...
