I have a dropdown on an HTML page that is a date; the data is dynamic as it passes the last 30 work days to the control. The value actually being passed to the underlying reports is an index, as an integer (IE: 08/01/2012 as the displayed value, 262 as the return value)

 var values = IbComposer_getCurrentSelection('edit1');
	for(var i = 0; i < values.length; i++)
alert(values[i]);
 

When the date of 08/01/2012 is selected, the popup returns 262, I would like to return the displayed value, as I am passing this for some error messages.

The javascript documentation I have only shows 8 functions and 2 events, any other documentation would be appreciated.

Unfortunately only those 8 built-in functions are exposed to us developers.

You could try regular JavaScript:

W3C: Select selectedIndex Property

var myControl = document.getElementById("edit1");
var myControlSelectedText = myControl.options[myControl.selectedIndex].text;

Thanks thats what I figured.
