I am creating a form with some drop down list. On the selection of any item in the drop down list I need to find out the index of the item selected. e.g. if "item1", "item2", "item3" are the items in the drop down list and if i select "item2" then the script should be able to return 2. Is there any way to achieve this?
I am using designer 7.1 to desing the form
index of the selected item in drop down list

Unforturnately LiveCycle List Fields don't have a property like "SelectedIndex". The list of items is a subnode of the field and you have to acquire and walk the list to find out the index of the result.
There is an easier way. Each item on list field can also have an export (or Bound) value. When you create the field in Deisgner, Check the "Specify Item Values" on the Object Binding tab. It should automatically set up index values. Now the "rawValue" of the field will the be index. To get the text, use the fields "fomattedValue" property.
var listIndex = MyField.rawValue;
var listText = MyField.formattedValue;

It appears you are using "::" where a ".' might work.
