Ok, I can get it using from javascript using:
document.form1.lavaReleaseMenu.options[document.form1.lavaReleaseMenu.selectedIndex].value
But how do I really specify this in a value attribute to create a
pageSession variable out of this?
<sun:staticText value="#{pageSession.lavaRelease}" >
<!beforeEncode
setPageSessionAttribute(key="lavaRelease" value="?");
/>
thanks
