Your select should be something like this, right?

<select size="1" name="sel1">
<option value="c1">Choice 1</option>
<option value="c2">Choice 2</option>
<option value="c3">Choice 3</option>
<option value="c4">Choice 4</option>
</select>

Notice the word value="c1" in the option tag. This is responsible for sending the "c1" to the browser using the submit button. To get it back in another page, try something like this

<&#37;response.write request.querystring("sel1")%>
