I use this  var e   document getElementById  ticket category clone   value    Notice that you don t need the     character in javascript       function check           var str   document getElementById  ticket category clone   value         if  str    Hardware                   SPICEWORKS utils addStyle   ticket c hardware clone display  none  important                      SPICEWORKS app helpdesk ready check

There is an unnecessary hashtag  change the code to this    var e   document getElementById  ticket category clone   value

It probably is the   sign like tho others have mentioned because this appears to work just fine    lt html xmlns  http   www w3 org 1999 xhtml  gt   lt head gt       lt title gt  lt  title gt    lt  head gt   lt body gt        lt select id   ticket category clone  gt     lt option value  hw  gt Hardware lt  option gt     lt option gt fsdf lt  option gt     lt option gt sfsd lt  option gt     lt option gt sdfs lt  option gt   lt  select gt   lt script type  text javascript  gt       function check             var e   document getElementById   ticket category clone            var str   e options e selectedIndex  text           alert str           if  str      Hardware                  alert  Hi                            lt  script gt   lt  body gt
