Doesn't seem to be anything wrong with your code - its the standard way of
getting a listbox's value.  Could be something as simple as a typo.  Try
giving the Form a Name/Id attribute and using that instead of forms[0].
Also check the Name/Id attribute of the select element and make sure it is
'whatquiz'.  Finally, I don't think list is a reserved word but you could
try changing that variable name.

Sorry its a bit vague but like I say it looks OK and I've definitely seen
stuff like this working.

If all else fails post the whole page.
