Javascript Auto Drop Down

Hi all

Perhaps someone here can help. I'm using this script in a form:

Code:

<HEAD>

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
<!-- Begin
team = new Array(
new Array(
new Array("Saku Koivu", 39482304),
new Array("Martin Rucinsky", 34802389),
new Array("Jeff Hackett", 39823498),
new Array("Sheldon Sourray", 87587343),
new Array("Richard Zednik", 68798735),
),
new Array(
new Array("Mario Lemieux", 23840238),
new Array("Jaromir Jagr", 92390484),
new Array("Robert Lang", 29048203),
new Array("Alexei Kovalev", 94098230),
new Array("Jean-Sebastien Aubin", 39234923),
),
null,
new Array(
new Array("Alexei Yashin", 20394802),
new Array("Daniel Alfredson", 34982039),
new Array("Marian Hossa", 92348902),
new Array("Patrick Lalime", 98203894),
new Array("Radek Bonk", 98234902)
)
);
function fillSelectFromArray(selectCtrl, itemArray, goodPrompt, badPrompt, defaultItem) {
var i, j;
var prompt;
// empty existing items
for (i = selectCtrl.options.length; i >= 0; i--) {
selectCtrl.options[i] = null; 
}
prompt = (itemArray != null) ? goodPrompt : badPrompt;
if (prompt == null) {
j = 0;
}
else {
selectCtrl.options[0] = new Option(prompt);
j = 1;
}
if (itemArray != null) {
// add new items
for (i = 0; i < itemArray.length; i++) {
selectCtrl.options[j] = new Option(itemArray[i][0]);
if (itemArray[i][1] != null) {
selectCtrl.options[j].value = itemArray[i][1]; 
}
j++;
}
// select first item (prompt) for sub list
selectCtrl.options[0].selected = true;
   }
}
//  End -->
</script>

</HEAD>

... and it's working just fine except for one thing: if I select "Montreal Canadiens" and then "Saku Koivu" the email that I get with all the results shows the player as "39482304" which is the number associated with that player, ie

Code:

new Array("Saku Koivu", 39482304),

I need the players name to come thru in the email, not the number. I tried putting the players name in " and ' but it didn't work, it seems to require numbers as opposed to letters. Can anyone help?

Thanks
