handle combo box with JavaScript

[sfchun]

Hi ,

i got a very simple problem (at least i gues it is)...

I have a html combobox in a form, and i would like to handle the selected option with a javascript function.
My problem seems to be : how can i get the selected option with javascript ...
not sure ...

Here is my error message (got with firebug) :
document.frmname have no properties

My code :

<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
     function getit(comboboxname){
          SelectedDownload=document.frmname.getElementById(comboboxname).value;
          alert(SelectedDownload); /* debug */
     }
-->
</script>
<form name="MyDownloads">
     <select name="MyDownloadItems" id="MyDownloadItems" size="1" style="background-color:#5aff52;">
          <option value="download1.zip">Download 1</option>
          <option value="download2.zip">Download 2</option>
          <option value="download3.zip">Download 3</option>
     </select>
     <input type="button" name="Download" value="Download" onclick="getit('MyDownloadItems');">
</form>

See if removing the highlighted helps:

 SelectedDownload=document.frmname.getElementById(comboboxname).value;
