Getting info from refresh etc

[NZ_Kiwis]

I have a form, and when a user selects something from a list box my screen may refresh... it's not a submit it's refreshing... how can i get the data chosen from the list box back???

Using javascript.

document.getElementById('id').value

				<p><select size="1" name="country" onchange="window.location.href='accommodationfinder.php'">
				<option value="AU">Australia</option>
				<option value="US">USA</option>
				<option value="HK">Hong Kong</option>
				</select> 
				Country </p>

<SCRIPT>
function fnGetId(){
   // Returns the first DIV element in the collection.
   var type = document.getElementByID("country");
    alert(type);
}
</SCRIPT>
				<p><select size="1" name="city" onfocus="fnGetId()"> 

This does not work??

var type = document.getElementsByName("country")[0].value;
alert(type);

				<option value="AU">Australia</option>
				<option value="US">USA</option>
				<option value="HK">Hong Kong</option>
				</select> 
				Country </p>


<SCRIPT>
function fnGetId(){
   // Returns the first DIV element in the collection.
var type = document.getElementsByName("country")[0].value;
alert(type);
}
</SCRIPT>


			<p><select size="1" name="city"> 

This works, how can i change type into a PHP variable????

There isn't an easy way.

You'll have to either post the data or add the data to the URL on the refresh and have PHP look at $_GET
