Good Morning:
I have a html page that I'm allowing multiple selections from a drop down list box. The variable I'm passing to the focus program consists of two fields concatenated together. With Javascript I would like to break this variable into two seperate variables. I know I accomplish this within the focus program but I would like to use Javascript. Has anyone done this before ?

Given you have a separator, you can use the method split:

arrayOfStrings = stringToSplit.split(separator);

I think the problem I'm having is it is not recognizing the value in the select list box. Any thoughts ?

This is what I've used:

var x = document.adj.ACTION.selectedIndex;
var opt = document.adj.ACTION.options[x].value;

Now you can perform your split on the var opt.

If I use an alert and display the value of 'x' I do see the number representing the item selected. However, if I use an alert to display the value of 'opt' I do not see a value. I should be, correct ?

FYI besure that the option does have an actual value= in it. Otherwise you will have to use the text.
