Calling Javascript functions from Events

Two questions.

1) How do I reference the current value of the <SELECT> object elsewhere in Javascript code?

2) How do I call a Javascript function from the 'onchange' event of a <SELECT> object?

Here's what my current (not-working) code looks like:
php Code:
Original - php Code
  1. <!-- this code found in the <HEAD> -->
  2. <script type="text/javascript">
  3.     function hide(el) {
  4.         document.getElementById(el).style.visibility="hidden";
  5.     }
  6.     function show(el) {
  7.         document.getElementById(el).style.visibility="visible";
  8.     }
  9.     function hideshow(el) {
  10.         if (document.getElementById(el).value="3") {
  11.             show('Wbus')// if William is selected,
  12.             show('Wweb')// show radio buttons
  13.             show('Lbus')// and labels
  14.             show('Lweb');
  15.         }
  16.         else {
  17.             hide('Wbus')// otherwise,
  18.             hide('Wweb')// hide radio buttons
  19.             hide('Lbus')// and labels
  20.             hide('Lweb');
  21.         }
  22.     }
  23. </script>

php Code:
Original - php Code
  1. <!-- this code found in a <FORM>, within the <BODY> -->
  2. <select name="sendto" id="sendto" size="1" onchange="javascript:hideshow('sendto')">
  3.     <option value="1">Stewart
  4.     <option value="2">Natalie
  5.     <option value="3">William
  6.     <option value="4">Jonathan
  7. </select>
  8. <input type="radio" name="Wsel" id="Wbus"><label for="Wbus" id="Lbus">Business</label>&nbsp;&nbsp;
  9. <input type="radio" name="Wsel" id="Wweb"><label for="Wweb" id="Lweb">Web Design</label>


I most likely need to replace:
(Question 1) if (document.getElementById(el).value="3")
(Question 2) onchange="javascript:hideshow('sendto')"

Thanks for your help.

RE: Calling Javascript functions from Events

Question 1 is resolved, based on the answer in THIS POST: (http://codewalkers.com/forum/index.php?action=displaythread&forum=clientside&id=526&realm=default)

reference field values using:

document.formname.fieldname.value

RE: Calling Javascript functions from Events

to call a function, just use the following:

<select name="myselect" onChange="Myfunction()">

then of course you would need to have a script block in the page that had a function called Myfunction(). Any code contained within that function would be executed.
