Special Handling of Form Parameters

[kentusha]

hi-ya guys,

I must say I have respect for javascript programmers, I find it tough as nails.

Alrighty here is what I am doing:

I have three combo boxes. When you make a selection from combo box 1, it sends an sql query and populates box two, when you make a selection in box two it sends a query and populates box three.

Each of the box has an option - 'other please specify'.

The last box has a submit button, so that the user can reconsider all of the options. This last box is the problem.

The first box sends a get:

Then the second does as well:

http://www.bigblogzoo.com/animalview.php?levone=one&levtwo=one.one

Now the third one is the problem:

http://www.bigblogzoo.com/?choiceX=...levone=one&levtwo=one.one&choiceZ=one.one.one

the sumbit sends the values of the previously chosen textboxes, which are urls. I was using a jumpto for the other boxes.

Not what I want I would like is to always send the values inside the combo boxes as parameters, not neccessarily the value of the value field. But frig mich i can't even find how to select the text inside the friggen combo box.

if anyone would help I would be grateful.

If any of this was not clear the problem is online at:

figured it out.

I need the .text attribute, ie:

form1.options[form1.selectedIndex].text;
