Yeah, I know, I tried that before, but it was always tracing "undefined". This was the only way it seemed to work. Now that I reworked it, giving your comment a second go, it does seem to work - maybe the change event handler was messing things up. I took that out, and it works now. Must have had something wrong from the start.
As usual, always something stupid. Thanks.
