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. http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&ie=ISO-8859-1&q=JS+selectedIndex+site %3Anetscape.com #3 is a link that has a lot of examples of select box JS in action.
