在Node.js / Express中获取选择标签选项索引

Question

When submitting a POST request with a form in Node.js/Express

Eg,

<select name="selectname">
  <option value="value1">Value 1</option> 
  <option value="value2" selected>Value 2</option>
  <option value="value3">Value 3</option>
</select>

The value that is passed to req.body.selectname is "Value 2" --- however is there a way to tell the form to pass the value "value2" instead?

Edit:

value2 is the default sent. You may get "Value 2" if your value attributes are not correctly set such as the following:

<select name="selectname">
  <option>Value 1</option> 
  <option selected>Value 2</option>
  <option>Value 3</option>
</select>

Answer 1

When I submitted the request I was receiving "Value 2" --- instead of "value2".

I was only receiving "Value 2" because I had

<option selected> Value 2</option> 

instead of

<option value="value2" selected> Value 2</option>
