Change your onchange to this:

onchange="javascript: go(this, this.selectedIndex);"

Change your JS function to this:

<script type="text/javascript">
function go(x, y) {
alert (x[y].value);
}
</script>

Please post your questions in the proper forum in the future...this should be in the Javascript forum.
