Passing value from select box to next page
The "Value" of any object is a property that must be set explicitly and
isn't the same property that referes to an option's displayed text:.
i.e. <option value="newpage.html">My Other Page</option>
To access an option's value or it's displayed text, use;
var content1 =
document.all.Form's_Name.Select_Object's_Name.options[document.all.Form's_Na
me.Select_Object's_Name.selectedIndex].value;
var content1 =
document.all.Form's_Name.Select_Object's_Name.options[document.all.Form's_Na
me.Select_Object's_Name.selectedIndex].text;
