Hi MindStickians!
This gets the value of whatever is selected in my dropdown menu.
document.getElementById('newSkill').value
For those not sure, here's the HTML for a drop down box.
<select name="newSkill" id="newSkill">
<option value="1">A skill</option>
<option value="2">Another skill</option>
<option value="3">Yet another skill</option>
</select>
Thanks in advance

For getting the text from a drop-down box as below
var skillsSelect = document.getElementById("newSkill");
var selectedText = skillsSelect.options[skillsSelect.selectedIndex].text;
