Select box value?

[riarc]

I know this is a dumb question but this the first time I have tried to create a web page. How do I get the value of a select box.
I have this tag <SELECT name=&quot;loc&quot;> that I am inserting loctions from my db. When the user selects a location I want to call my next asp page. (report.asp) I also have to make sure that the value does not = &quot;Select a Location&quot;
Does anybody know how to do this?

Example select in a form
...
<form name=&quot;frmSubmit&quot; action=&quot;report.asp&quot; method=&quot;post&quot;>
<select name=&quot;loc&quot; onchange=&quot;SubmitForm(this)&quot;>
<option value=&quot;default&quot;>Select a Location</option>
<option value=&quot;database value(usually id)&quot;>Database value (description)</option>
</select>
...
</form>
Add the following javascript:
<script language=javascript>
function SubmitForm(theField)
{
if(theField.value!=&quot;default&quot
{
frmSubmit.submit;


}

}
</script>


on Report.asp

<%
sSelectValue=request.form(&quot;loc&quot
%>
