 <script>
    function go(){

   var sel = document.getElementById('menu');
   var sv = sel.options[sel.selectedIndex].value;
    window.location.href='getCityDetails.jsp?c=' + sv;

      }

      </script>

Hope it helps you

HTML :

<select id="menu" SIZE=6 onChange="go(this.value)">
    <option value="">Select city</option>
    <option value="delhi" >delhi</option>  
    <option value="kolkata" >kolkata</option>  
    <option value="mumbai" >mumbai</option>
</select>

Javascript :

function go(desination){
    if (destination != ''){
         window.location.href='getCityDetails.jsp?c=' + desination;
    }
}

you need to concatenate the string properly. try this:

window.location.href='getCityDetails.jsp?c=' + sv;

-- You can use--

var TaskType = document.form1.SelTaskType.value;

-- TaskType will display selected option from below

<select id="SelTaskType" name="SelTaskType" >
<option selected>-- select --</option>
<option>B</option>
<option>C</option>
<option>D</option>
</select>
