If you are creating forms for your web pages you might want to hide / show elements based on data that the user enters.

In this video i'll answer a coding question that I came across where someone wanted to get the selected value of a select box using plain JavaScript.

You can assign pretty much any action to the result of the select box but i'll show you how to setup a button with an event listener that triggers the JavaScript code that checks the select box and returns it's value - it's up to you what you do with it from there!
