Help to share data between SU Ruby and JS

NewOne

Hello! I need to load the current value from a select box in a variable for further use and my JS skills are very close to zero . Please help me with this.
Please edit the attached script to show me how to load the current value from "Val" selectbox in a ruby variable.

image attachment for visual explanation. I have tried something like this http://blog.techsaints.com/2007/05/06/javascript-how-to-get-selected-item-in-dropdown-select-list/ but couldn't make it to work. I don't fully understand this http://sketchupapi.blogspot.com/2008/02/sharing-data-between-sketchup-ruby-and.html and I'm sure that I made a mistake somewhere, but could not figure out where. That is why I need guidance from someone more experienced

Thanks for any help.

I've modified your code to work. I've tested it in Safari. Should work in Windows just fine.

(EDIT - you can remove the <form> tags.)

Wow! thanks I tried something like that (but not really alike) before posting the problem here... and of course it did not worked.
Thanks again. I will take a closer look to see where I did wrong...I know that I must love JS, but I still hate it
