Hello David,

Putting your code online like that was a wonderful idea... thanks for being
considerate for digest members.  Here are a few thoughts to ponder.

1.  selectedIndex is a number at all times.  The number represents the
option within the select box that is selected, starting with 0 as the top
item.

2.  The string concatenation for JS is +, not . (period).

3.

#3 is a link that has a lot of examples of select box JS in action.  You may
find it helpful.
