<head> <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JScript">
val='';
function fnAdd(obj){
if (obj.selectedIndex<0||val.match(obj.options[obj.selectedIndex].value)){ return; }
val+=obj.options[obj.selectedIndex].value+'\n';
document.getElementById('fred').value=val;
}
</SCRIPT>

<body>

<SELECT ID=someText>
<OPTION VALUE="">some text</OPTION>
<OPTION VALUE="some text1">some text1</OPTION>

With form elements you should use names with the form array, not id. It can be donw with the id.

document.formName.elementName1.value = document.formName.elementName2.value;
