Anyone of these should work fine as the first if() in the function I
posted...
if(document.forms[0].selectAdmin.selectedIndex == 0) {}
if(document.forms[0].selectAdmin.options[0].selected) {}
if(document.forms[0].selectAdmin.value == 'xox') {}
They seem to all work well across the board for me.

I've always used the options array as well but recently have been using
value with no problems or complaints.

maybe i'm just old and a creature of habit, but i've always referenced
select elements via the options array. i've seen people access the
value directly (and i know it works in newer browsers)...but when i
cry a little :)
i have looked into it to see if it's "valid" (standard) or not...i've
asked people that I consider to be JS gurus...and i've never gotten
any answer other than "it works".
i know newer browsers will support it, but i still don't know if it's
"standard", so I prefer to stick to the old-fashioned way (FWIW).
