The individual values of the Select don't have component ids. 
getComponent("listBox1").getValue();  //returns the value of the selected entry.

 

Hi,

 

Try using the getParent() function to get the parent of a component.

 

For instance: if you have a button inside a panel, the "this" object in the (serverside) onClick event references the event. this.getParent() is a reference to the button and this.getParent().getParent() to the panel. So to get the ID of the panel you'd have to use

this.getParent().getParent.getId()

 Excellent! getParent did the trick!

 

 

Thanks!
