How to get the text of a selection in Html

It is a very common requirement to get the text of a selected box, but,unfortunately,one you submit an action, you can only get the value of a select box.

Below is the way to solve this problem(just hint)

<html>
  <head>
    <title></title>
     <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
  </head>

  <body>
  <script>
     function ss(){

          var obj = document.getElementById("sa"); //selectid
          var index =obj.selectedIndex;
          alert(obj.options[index].text);
      }
  </script>
    TODO write content
    <select name="sa" id="sa" onChange="ss(this.selectedIndex)">
        <option value="A">aardvark</option>
        <option value="B">BBC</option>

    </select>
  </body>
</html>

  2. Hi Sparkling,
    This is the simplest way I can find. The core codes are just:
    var obj = document.getElementById("sa");
    var index =obj.selectedIndex;
    var text =obj.options[index].text;

    If we don't use this way, have to put the values&texts of the select box to an array(map) or use 'value || text' as the value of the option.

    Show me if you have simpler solution.

Stretch a row if data overflows in jasper reports

It is very common that some columns of the report need to stretch to show all the content in that column. But  if you just specify the property " stretch with overflow' to that column(we called text field in jasper report world) , it will just stretch that column and won't change other columns, so the row could be ridiculous. Haven't find the solution from internet yet. So I just review the properties in iReport one by one and find two useful properties(the bold  highlighted in example below) which resolve the problems.   example: <band height="20" splitType="Stretch" > <textField isStretchWithOverflow="true" pa...
