    I was wondering. Is it possible to retrieve the value of a select. I have a select with all the months of the year.

    <select name="selection">
    <option>januari</option>
    <option>Februari</option>
    <option>Maart</option>
    <option>April</option>
    <option>Mei</option>
    <option>Juni</option>
    <option>Juli</option>
    <option>Augustus</option>
    <option>September</option>
    <option>Oktober</option>
    <option>Novermber</option>
    <option>December</option>
    </select>

    When someone chooses for instance "februari" I want that value to be given to an <input type="text" name="invoer">

    I tried things like

    invoer.value = selection.value;

    But that did not work. How do I get this value??

    Thanx in advance,

    Try
    
document.getElementByName('invoer').setAttribute('value', document.getElementByName('selection').getAttribute('value'));
    Code (javascript):
