Tom,
Since I dont know what you are passing in as parameters.  This code will work
with both netscape and IE. To get the values of a dropdown box given that the
dropField is on the first form in the page.


var index
var value

index = document.forms[0].dropField.SelectedIndex;
value = document.forms[0].dropField.options[index].value;
