Trouble outputting a JavaScript Function within an html jump menu

Here is a tough one, or at lease for me it is…

I am new to JavaScript, so please go light on me if I get the termonolgy incorrect. Here is what I am trying to do…

In the following line of code I would like to make the template ID dynamic so that I can access the “computers” group from any tmeplate on my site.:

<option class=”link” value=”http://myDevSite/scripts/ecatalogisapi.dll/Group?Group=21&Template=9990000105000999“> » Computers</option>

I have already written JavaScript to pull the template number from the URL string and it works just fine when used as follows:

<script>document.write(“<a href=’http://myDevSite/scripts/ecatalogisapi.dll/Group?Group=21&Template=” + GetTemplateId() + “‘ class=newsidebar>Computers</a>”);</script>

When I use teh above code on a template the GetTemplateId is nicely replaced with whatever template number is being displayed in the pages URL.

I need to be able to use GetTemplateId() in place of the static number in the html jump menu’s code I have shown above – I cannot get it to work.

Any help would be greatly appreciated…I am loosing my hair fast enough naturally…I can’t afford to continue pulling more of it out!
