Return value and item string from HTML Select using ASP

I have a select box on a classic ASP page which looks like this:

<select name='reason' id='reason'>
<option value='77000005471253'>Family issue</option>
<option value='77000005471256'>Holiday</option>
<option value='77000005471254'>Medical</option>
<option value='77000005471255'>Meeting</option>
</select>

I can return the value element (e.g. 77000005471253) but I would also like the items string value (e.g. Family Issue). Is this possible using Classic ASP?

Thanks in advance

One way is to add the string value also into the value with some delimeter and get both using a split operation on post. Otherwise, you can add a javascript to put the string value into a hidden field on selection change of the select element.
