With using the below script. How can I make the select name a variable on stage 2 and 3 that is based on the first selection.
otherwords...
So choice 1 would change the select name of both option 1 and 2 <choice1><option1><option2>
That way depending on what is first selected the form would submit different select names to a shopping cart. Its already set up to populate the option1 and option2 based off what is selected in choice1

<select name="variable" size="1" onChange="redirect1(this.options.selectedIndex)">

Thankyou
