I wish to know the selected option value so that I can compare it with a string eg: "Peter" so that I will know that "Peter" is selected.

Next, upon correct comparison, I wish to disable another box, how do i go abt doin that? All using Java script? Tks.

Welcome to WebmasterWorld, pig80!

You need to use the selectedIndex. In pseudocode:

if the selectedIndex value equals 'Peter' 
 then disable the box named/with an ID of 'FOO'
