I am stumped. I have a form with a dropdown list, and I would like to grab a list of all the values in the list. I pulled the below example from w3 schools (yes, I know it's unreliable, but other solutions on stack overflow seem to be very similar to this). It was not working for me, and I tried plugging it into jsfiddle, but no luck.
HTML:
<form>Select your favorite fruit:
<select id=mySelect>
<option value=a>Apple</option>
<option value=o>Orange</option>
<option value=p>Pineapple</option>
<option value=b>Banana</option>
</select>
</form>
<button type=button onclick=displayResult()>Display text of all options</button>
javascript:
function displayResult() {
var x = document.getElementById(mySelect);
var txt = All options: ;
var i;
for (i = 0; i < x.length; i++) {
txt = txt + n + x.options[i].value;
}
alert(txt);
}
Not working on jsfiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/WfBRr/1/
However, it works at their site:

Any ideas on how to solve this?
