[Javascript] value of select

[flavio at economisa.com.br (Flavio Gomes)]

I don't know why it doesn't worked or if should it work, but you can try 
removing the 'options' statement

var myComboBox = document.orders.orders_status_id; //this is just for 
simplifying
var orders_status_id = myComboBox[myComboBox.selectedIndex].value;

   // myComboBox.options[0] is the same as myComboBox[0]

Second: have you realised that in the "OPTION" that says '1' it's value 
is empty and in the "OPTION" that says '2' it's value is '1', right?

Hope to Help,
