Is the .value property of HTMLSelectElement reliable
<p>Consider an html select box with an id of "MySelect". </p>

<p>Is it safe to get the value of the selected option like this:</p>

<pre><code>document.getElementById("MySelect").value;
</code></pre>

<p>rather than this:</p>

<pre><code>var Sel = document.getElementById("MySelect");
var MyVal = Sel.option[MyVal.selectedIndex].value;
</code></pre>

<p>It appears to be safe but I've never seen documentation on it.</p>
