I have the following form in which values are passed to an xml file via ASP
(e.g. request("mainlist"). In the form are two javascript select boxes, the
items in sublist dependent on what is shown in mainlist. The select boxes
work great however I need the description of mainlist and sublist vice the
values to be passed. The values of NAME, EMAIL, PHONE, etc. are being sent
fine but I can't for the life of me get the description from the select
boxes. Please help.

<form method=post action="processgb.asp" name="form1">
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="javascript">
<!--
var page=""
var i;
// call the function that fills in the arrays so we'll use them to fill the
select
PrepareData();
page+="Select the main list: ";
page+="<SELECT NAME='mainlist' onChange='reFillList()'>";
for (i=0;i<MainList.length;i++) {
 page+="<OPTION VALUE="+MainList[i].nvalue;
 if (i==0) {
  page+=" SELECTED ";
 }
 page+=">"+MainList[i].description;

//-->
</SCRIPT>
&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp
Select SubList:

<SELECT NAME='sublist'>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="javascript">
<!--
// since we have selected the first value in the main list, we have to fill
this list
reFillList();

//-->
</SCRIPT>

</SELECT>

Paul,

I guess if you are already using ASP, it is much easier to use an ASP
combo(select)boxes

Check www.w3schools.com (/asp) for more details.
