Inserting HTMLInput Element value

I have a textfield that uses a [URL=”http://www.dhtmlgoodies.com/index.html?whichScript=ajax-dynamic-list”]dynamic dropdown select script[/URL] to let me choose a country by a few letters. Example, keying “B” shows “Brazil, Bulgaria, Belarus… Once i choose a county another function fires to send the selected data [URL=”http://www.captain.at/howto-ajax-form-post-get.php”]via http_request[/URL] to another page. Here’s it in use.

[CODE]<input type=”text” name=”country” onkeyup=”ajax_showOptions(this,’get_country’,event)” onblur=”makeRequest(‘insert.php?field_name=country&field_value=’,this.value)”>[/CODE]

The problem is that the *this.value* in makeRequest() only sends the “B” or whatever chars where entered in the field. Now I understand that the dropdown script is filling the field in a different way than I would have keyed it but how im not sure. Looking at FireBug i think i see that my selection “Brazil” shows under *HTMLInputElement*. I guess my question is how do i get that value to show instead of *this.value* in makeRequest().

FYI, each script works fine when not working together on the same field.

Thanks much for the help.
