passing the value of a list/menubox?
<form name="form1" method="post" action="rateprocess.cfm?id=#ItemID#&rating=$(ratebox)">
<select name="ratebox" id="ratebox">
<option value="5" selected>5 - Excellent</option>
<option value="4">4 - Very good</option>
<option value="3">3 - Average</option>
<option value="2">2 - Below Average</option>
<option value="1">1 - Poor</option>
</select>
<input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit">
</form></td>

I'm not sure what you are asking. If you submit the form and it has a field named "ratebox", the target page will already have the value as form.ratebox.

I still don't understand what you are asking. If you have a form like this and you submit it:

<form name="form1" method="post" action="rateprocess.cfm?id=#ItemID#">
<select name="ratebox" id="ratebox">
<option value="5" selected>5 - Excellent</option>
<option value="4">4 - Very good</option>
<option value="3">3 - Average</option>
<option value="2">2 - Below Average</option>
<option value="1">1 - Poor</option>
</select>
<input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit">
</form>

Then on the rateprocess.cfm page, you will be able to reference the rating as #form.ratebox#.
