 * I’m trying to implement a drop-down HTML list in a simple page so that when an
   item is selected a JS script is executed. Here is the HTML of the page:
 *     ```
       <script type="text/javascript">// <![CDATA[
           setup();
       // ]]></script>
   
       <select style="cursor: pointer; background-color: #eee;" onchange="lookupState();"> <option value="00">Approvals by State</option> </select>
       ```
   
 *  
 * The functions setup() and lookupState() are defined in the header.php template
   for my theme as recommended by [http://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Javascript](http://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Javascript)
