Get the text from a select tag

Is it possible to get the value of the text or anything like "rel" from a select's option tag? Here is my select: <select name="attr_acrobatics_attribute"> <option value="@{strength_mod}">Str</option> <option value="@{dexterity_mod}" selected>Dex</option> <option value="@{constitution_mod}">Con</option> <option value="@{intelligence_mod}">Int</option> <option value="@{wisdom_mod}">Wis</option> <option value="@{charisma_mod}">Cha</option> </select> It allows the user to change the attribute used on the fly for skill checks. I'd like to be able to display the selected text (ex: "Dex") when I use the roll template. I currently use: {{title=Acrobatics (Dex)}} in my 5e template. I'd like to inject Dex in there. I could do it if I had access to javascript - just read the text of the selected option. Is it possible to do since we don't have access to JS? Maybe a hidden input whose value is equal to that text? Thanks

Another option: <div> <select name="attr_test_attribute"> <option value="strength">Str</option> <option value="dexterity">Dex</option> <option value="constitution">Con</option> <option value="intelligence">Int</option> <option value="wisdom" selected="selected">Wis</option> <option value="charisma">Cha</option> </select> </div> <div> <input type="input" name="attr_weeeee" value="@{test_attribute}_mod" disabled="disabled" /> <input type="input" name="attr_weeeee" value="@{@{test_attribute}_mod}" disabled="disabled" /> </div> But that doesn't work for the obvious reason of trying to parse "test_attribute" and then @{@{test_attribute}_mod} when in reality they are parsed at the same time. Any ideas?

Is this for a standard sheet or a custom character sheet? If it's for a custom one, could you use the API (since it looks like you're a mentor)?

I'd like other to be able to use it. I assume that is standard and prevents API usage?

No, there isn't any means of grabbing the <option>'s text node. Obviously you can set the text and the value to be the same thing, but that's not what you're looking for.

Ya, I'm looking to use the modifier for the roll and then the label for displaying, but it seems it's not technically possible w/o the API which would prevent others from using it. Sad - I'll just not display the value then.

I'd love to see this be possible as well :( Trying to find a workaround at this time actually. Anyone have any luck? I was able to find a workaround for using some calculated formulas in dice rolls that otherwise would not work... maybe there is one for this.

Steve posted a solution in another thread that works if you're trying to put the stuff into a roll template (but not otherwise). <select name="attr_example"> <option value="{{example value=1}} {{example text=One}}">One</option> <option value="{{example value=2}} {{example text=Two}}">Two</option> <option value="{{example value=3}} {{example text=Three}}">Three</option> </select> <button name="roll_example-roll" value="&{template:example-template} {{name=Foo}} {{roll=[[3d8+6]]}} @{example}"></button>

That only works if your select goes directly to the roller. It doesn't if your select feeds another input that is used by a roll button. :( EDIT: Actually it may work.. is what I get with the following code: <select name="attr_acrobatics_attribute" class="sheet-skills-attribute-selector"> <option value="{{acrobatics_attribute value=@{strength_mod} }} {{acrobatics_attribute text=Str}}">Str</option> <option value="{{acrobatics_attribute value=@{dexterity_mod} }} {{acrobatics_attribute text=Str}}" selected="selected">Dex</option> <option value="{{acrobatics_attribute value=@{constitution_mod} }} {{acrobatics_attribute text=Str}}">Con</option> <option value="{{acrobatics_attribute value=@{intelligence_mod} }} {{acrobatics_attribute text=Str}}">Int</option> <option value="{{acrobatics_attribute value=@{wisdom_mod} }} {{acrobatics_attribute text=Str}}">Wis</option> <option value="{{acrobatics_attribute value=@{charisma_mod} }} {{acrobatics_attribute text=Str}}">Cha</option> </select> <input type="number" name="attr_acrobatics_value_test" value="0 + @{acrobatics_attribute}" disabled="disabled"> <button type="roll" name="roll_Acrobatics_Check_test" value="@{output_option} &{template:5eDefault} {{ability=1}} {{title=Acrobatics (Dex)}} {{subheader=@{character_name}}} {{subheaderright=Ability check}} {{rollname=Result}} {{roll= @{acrobatics_attribute text} }} {{rolladv=[[ 1d20 + @{acrobatics} + (@{global_check_bonus}) ]]}} @{acrobatics_attribute} @{classactionacrobatics}"></button> The input still grabs the value which is great! However on the roll template side I need to split text from value. Can I extract the value from the text and pass them as 2 different items to the template? Is there a way to do that? Right now it's all wrong.
