How to pass parameters on onChange of html select

Been having a bit of a puzzle here. I understand that there's nothing happening on OnChange event in a option tag. But I would like to pass the value of whatever option is selected (1 to 7) into the onChange event in the select tag (in place of what I have there as '7'). What's the best way to do this?

I basically want a font size selection box. The fmtEdit function changes the size.

<select onchange="fmtEdit('Icontent','FontSize','7')">
  <option value="0" selected="true">font size</option>
  <option value="1">1</option>
  <option value="2">2</option>
  <option value="3">3</option>
  <option value="4">4</option>
  <option value="5">5</option>
  <option value="6">6</option>
  <option value="7">7</option>
</select>

Thanks! gabstero

You could try the link that KRyan mentioned in the comment under the OP as that should solve your question. If you insist in doing it inline, try this.

<select onchange="fmtEdit('Icontent','FontSize',this.options[this.selectedIndex].value)">
  <option value="0" selected="true">font size</option>
  <option value="1">1</option>
  <option value="2">2</option>
  <option value="3">3</option>
  <option value="4">4</option>
  <option value="5">5</option>
  <option value="6">6</option>
  <option value="7">7</option>
</select>
