Get value from dropdown menu

Hi, how do i get the value from a dropdown menu from the example below??

Example->
<SELECT NAME="cbo">
<OPTION VALUE="1">Small</OPTION>
<OPTION VALUE="2">Medium</OPTION>
<OPTION VALUE="3">Large</OPTION>
</SELECT>

I need to get the values "Small", "Medium", "Large", depending on which item the user selects. May i know how to do it??
