Okay, I've tried everything. I even took some sample code from MSDN and copied that. I'm sure I'm doing something wrong, but I don't know what it is and I'm getting frustrated.

All I need is some working JavaScript code that shows the currently selected item in a Select object (the combobox made by the SELECT tag). That's it. Just have the script show the item using alert() and I'll be happy.

Then I'll compare whatever you post with what I have and try to figure this mess out.
