I dont know what you are doing, what do you mean by I had checked with inspect element for above code.

but this is the source of what i get back after selecting west. 
Popup1:West<br>
<form method="post" action="/wx-bin/testsessions.pl" enctype="multipar
+t/form-data"> <br> &nbsp<B>Sort</B> &nbsp<select name="popup1" >
<option value="Building">Building</option>
<option value="Nepal">Nepal</option>
<option selected="selected" value="West">West</option>
<option value="Landmark">Landmark</option>
</select>&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp  <input type="submit" name="sub
+mit" value="submit" /></form>

Of course my script is named "testsessions.pl" and is in the "wx-bin" cgi-bin directory, those values would probably change for you, but they are automaticly generated by start_form and should be the proper values for you. Why dont you try what i gave as an example and see what you get?
