使用 <select>带有转换语句的标签（Java和HTML）

Question

I am creating a calculator for a game and I want to use a drop down menu to select a value in a switch statement; although it doesn't seem to be working, it always returns 0. Can anyone see where I went wrong? Also I am fairly new to java and html so sorry if there is a dumb mistake.

Here is my html:

<form onsubmit="return calcDarkTroops(0);" style="display: inline;">
<!-- Title of Form /--> <font>Level</font> 
<!-- Gets Input /-->
<select id="minionlevel_input">
    <option>1</option>
    <option>2</option>
    <option>3</option>
    <option>4</option>
    <option>5</option>
    <option>6</option>
</select>
<!-- Calls 'calcDarkTroops' /-->
<input type="button" value="Calculate" onclick="calcDarkTroops();">
<!-- Outputs result /--> <span id="minioncost_result"> = 0 Dark Elixer</span>

Here is my Java:

calcDarkTroops = function () {
 var minionlevel = Number(document.getElementById("minionlevel_input").value);
 String maxString;
 switch (minionlevel) {
     case 1:
         maxString = "200,000";
         break;
     case 2:
         maxString = "190,000";
         break;
     case 3:
         maxString = "170,000";
         break;
     case 4:
         maxString = "140,000";
         break;
     case 5:
         maxString = "100,000";
         break;
     case 6:
         maxString = "0";

     document.getElementById("minioncost_result").innerHTML = "= " + Math.round(maxString * 100) / 100 + " Dark Elixer";

                        }

Answer 1

Try providing the value attribute to your select option and also consider providing default option,

<select id="minionlevel_input">
    <option value="0">Select</option>
    <option value="1">1</option>
    <option value="2">2</option>
    <option value="3">3</option>
    <option value="4">4</option>
    <option value="5">5</option>
    <option value="6">6</option>
</select>

Try this:

<form style="display: inline;">
<!-- Title of Form /--> <font>Level</font> 
<!-- Gets Input /-->
<select id="minionlevel_input">
    <option>1</option>
    <option>2</option>
    <option>3</option>
    <option>4</option>
    <option>5</option>
    <option>6</option>
</select>
<!-- Calls 'calcDarkTroops' /-->
<input type="button" value="Calculate" onclick="return calcDarkTroops(document.getElementById('minionlevel_input').value)">
<!-- Outputs result /--> <span id="minioncost_result"> = 0 Dark Elixer</span>

<script>
 function calcDarkTroops(minionlevel) {
   var maxString;
   switch (minionlevel) {
     case '1':
         maxString = "200,000";
         break;
     case '2':
         maxString = "190,000";
         break;
     case '3':
         maxString = "170,000";
         break;
     case '4':
         maxString = "140,000";
         break;
     case '5':
         maxString = "100,000";
         break;
     case '6':
         maxString = "0";
         break;    
   }
     document.getElementById("minioncost_result").innerHTML = "= " + Math.round(parseInt(maxString) * 100) / 100 + " Dark Elixer";

}
