code:

(function() {
  var oldonload = window.onload;
  window.onload = function() {
    if (oldonload)
      oldonload();
	  
	  if (!document.forms.futuresSeasonal.contractSelect.value){
var GOGRAIN_XML_URL = 'XML/futures_seasonal_chart_new.asp?ticker=<%=crop_letter%>&cropy=<%=Cropy%>';}
else{
var GOGRAIN_XML_URL = 'XML/futures_seasonal_chart_new.asp?ticker=<%=crop_letter%>&cropy=<%=Cropy%>&fs='+document.forms.futuresSeasonal.contractSelect.value;
}
    buildMovieFromXML(GOGRAIN_XML_URL);
  };
})();

So I have my page set up with a default value if nothing from the drop down select list is selected, however when something is selected I need a new URL passed to the XML parser with that drop down menu selection as part of the querystring. I realize my code here is a horrible abortion mix of javascript and asp, but I know for a fact the asp parts work, it is just the javascript I'm having trouble with. If I hard code the URL with a possible drop down option like so:

code:

var GOGRAIN_XML_URL = 'XML/futures_seasonal_chart_new.asp?ticker=<%=crop_letter%>&cropy=<%=Cropy%>&fs='C2009N';

it works fine so I assume it is a problem with how I am trying to retrieve the form value, but from what little I know about javascript it looks right to me. Any help would be super awesome.
