selectedIndex is undefined javascript

Question

My select is giving me undefined for is index.

My code:

HTML

<div name="daysToReorder" class="days_to_reorder" onchange="getReOrderTables(this)"> Day to reorder <br>
              <select name="daysToReorder">
              <option value="A">A</option>
              <option value="B">B</option>
              <option value="C">C</option>
              <option value="D">D</option>
              <option value="E">E</option>
              <option value="F">F</option>
              </select></div>

JS

  function getReOrderTables(select)
    {

    alert(select.selectedIndex);


    }

this is the <div/>, not the <select/>(div's doesn't have a selectedIndex-property) — Dr.Molle

Since the onchange is on the <div>, this refers to the <div>. <div>s don't have a selectedIndex.

Try applying the event to the <select> instead.
