javascript question - evaluate a string

[inaam]

I'm a beginner in coding javascript.
I am building a string where sboxname carries the select box name, the alert message displays the string correctly then I want to extract the value of the selected index and compare it within the If statement.

Any ideas how to do it, please?

sindex="document.form2."+sboxname+".selectedIndex";
alert("selected index string: "+sindex);
if(sindex==1)

Change this line

sindex="document.form2."+sboxname+".selectedIndex";


to


sindex = eval("document.form2."+sboxname+".selectedIndex");

The eval function will do your job.
