The ID of your <select> element is "author", yet you're using "sample" in the Javascript code. Try this:

var x = document.getElementById("author").selectedIndex;

Are you executing the javascript before the browser has a chance to build the select element?

ThanksI am doing onClick on input type "submit". Since I am doing form submission through the Ajax which doesn't allow onSubmit event.ThanksDeepak
