Help with dropdown menu

[Reannon]

This is the code for the select menu. It all work okay. The problem is that I need to determine the selection value later in an if statement so I can change code based on the selection. No matter what sytax I use to reference the selection box, I get an error: Expected Then. Please someone help!!

<select name="id<% = rs("ProductId")%>selectcolor" id="selectcolor" onChange="colorchoice">
<%
While (NOT rscolors.EOF)
%>
<% if Left(Request.Querystring("maingroup"), 1)= "A" then%>
<option value="<%=(rscolors.Fields.Item("ColorSuffix").Value)%>" selected><%=(rscolors.Fields.Item("Color").Value)%></option>
<%elseIF rscolors("ColorSuffix") < 49 Then%>
<option value="<%=(rscolors.Fields.Item("ColorSuffix").Value)%>"><%=(rscolors.Fields.Item("Color").Value)%></option>
<%else%>
<%end if %>
<% rscolors.MoveNext()%>

<%Wend
</select>

With using straight code you will not be able to determine the selected
value of a dropdown until the form is processed. However you may be able to
get a client side javascript that will grab the values as the dropdown
changes.
