Select routing by name?

[Don Lancaster]

If I have a select box such as...

<select name="pickMS" size="1" multiple
onchange="pickMagicSinewave (form) ; " >
<option selected value="XXXX">Select your Magic Sinewave here.</option>
<option value="BEF7">Best Efficiency -- 7 pulses per quadrant</option>
<option value="DF7">Delta Friendly -- 7 pulses per quadrant</option>
<option value="BBE7">Bridged Best Efficiency -- 7 pulses per
quadrant</option>

numeric positions are typically used to route to selected functions...

if ( form.pickMS[1].selected) { setupBeff7 (this.form) } ;
if ( form.pickMS[2].selected) { setupDelf7 (this.form) } ;
if ( form.pickMS[3].selected) { setupBrbe7 (this.form) } ;


This creates problems later when adding or removing features.
How can I key on the value field rather than the numeric position?

if ( form.pickMS["BBE7"].selected) { setupBrbe7 (this.form) } ;

does not seem to work.

Why you are passing form ??

if ( form.pickMS["BBE7"].selected) { setupBrbe7 (this.form) } ;

sel=form.pickMS
if(sel.options[sel.selectedIndex].value=="BBE7")
//"do something"//
