Belinda, you can also use the .change() method on the <select>
element if you want (the part you commented out was just fine). Then
you can either get the selected option's value like this ...
q(this).text()
or its text like this ...
q(':selected',this).text()
As Olaf mentioned, the real problem was that you were trying to find q
('input[name=sweets]') when you should have been using q('select
[name=sweets]')

working, the section is hidden and doesn't reappear no matter what

task is on a more complex page, I am just trying to get the simple
test to work first.
and here the full function:
q(document).ready(function(){
q("div.subSection").hide();
q("option").click (function() {
var opt = q(this).text();
alert (opt); // delete this row
if (opt == "Cookie") {
q("div.subSection").show();
} else {
q("div.subSection").hide();
}
});
});
