</div>

I have a survey that hides the current question after the users click continue… (this is done using DHTML - div tags with id) so at the last question, there is a drop down menu of 2 options, if the user selects the first option and clicks continue, it will hide this div and show the _a_ div. If the user selects the second option and clicks continue, it will hide this div and show _b_ div.

Well obviously I need to get the value when the users click continue, how do I do that?
