2 Select Boxes in 1 Form with onchange display

I'm using onchange display to hide/show form elements depending on the value of a select box. It works perfectly well (I actually really adore it) for one select box, but I have another select box which I'd like to act similarly.

<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
// <![CDATA[
function display(obj,id1,id2,id3,id4) {
txt = obj.options[obj.selectedIndex].value;
document.getElementById(id1).style.display = 'none';
document.getElementById(id2).style.display = 'none';
document.getElementById(id3).style.display = 'none';
document.getElementById(id4).style.display = 'none';
if ( txt.match(id1) ) {
document.getElementById(id1).style.display = 'block';
}
if ( txt.match(id2) ) {
document.getElementById(id2).style.display = 'block';
}
if ( txt.match(id3) ) {
document.getElementById(id3).style.display = 'block';
}
if ( txt.match(id4) ) {
document.getElementById(id4).style.display = 'block';
}
}
// ]]>
</script>
</head><body>

<form action="#">
<select name="Stype" onchange="display(this,'oneshot','outtake','multi','chapter');">
<option>Please select:</option>
<option value="oneshot">Oneshot</option>
<option value="outtake">Outtake</option>
<option value="multi">Original Multi-Chapter</option>
<option value="drabbles">Drabbles</option>
<option value="outline">Outline Preview</option>
<option value="chapter">Chapter Preview</option>
</select><BR><BR>
<div id="oneshot" style="display: none;">Some fields here</div>
<div id="outtake" style="display: none;">Some different fields here</div>
<div id="multi" style="display: none;">Some other fields here</div>
<div id="chapter" style="display: none;">Some more fields here</div>
</form>
</body>



But when I go to add a second select (obj,id1,id2,id3,id4,id5,id6) with new "ifs" and id's, etc and so forth, neither work.

<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
// <![CDATA[
function display(obj,id1,id2,id3,id4,id5,id6) {
txt = obj.options[obj.selectedIndex].value;
document.getElementById(id1).style.display = 'none';
document.getElementById(id2).style.display = 'none';
document.getElementById(id3).style.display = 'none';
document.getElementById(id4).style.display = 'none';
document.getElementById(id5).style.display = 'none';
document.getElementById(id6).style.display = 'none';
if ( txt.match(id1) ) {
document.getElementById(id1).style.display = 'block';
}
if ( txt.match(id2) ) {
document.getElementById(id2).style.display = 'block';
}
if ( txt.match(id3) ) {
document.getElementById(id3).style.display = 'block';
}
if ( txt.match(id4) ) {
document.getElementById(id4).style.display = 'block';
}
if ( txt.match(id5) ) {
document.getElementById(id5).style.display = 'block';
}
if ( txt.match(id6) ) {
document.getElementById(id6).style.display = 'block';
}
}
// ]]>
</script>
</head><body>

<form action="#">
<select name="Stype" onchange="display(this,'oneshot','outtake','multi','chapter');">
<option>Please select:</option>
<option value="oneshot">Oneshot</option>
<option value="outtake">Outtake</option>
<option value="multi">Original Multi-Chapter</option>
<option value="drabbles">Drabbles</option>
<option value="outline">Outline Preview</option>
<option value="chapter">Chapter Preview</option>
</select><BR><BR>
<div id="oneshot" style="display: none;">Some fields here</div>
<div id="outtake" style="display: none;">Some different fields here</div>
<div id="multi" style="display: none;">Some other fields here</div>
<div id="chapter" style="display: none;">Some more fields here</div> <BR><BR><BR>

<select name="Atype" onchange="display(this,'romance','adventure');">
<option>Please select:</option>
<option value="romance">Romance</option>
<option value="adventure">Adventure</option>
</select><BR><BR>
<div id="romance" style="display: none;">Some new fields here</div>
<div id="adventure" style="display: none;">Some even newer fields here</div>
</form>
</body>

Is there any way to fuse them and get a second select to work the same?

Thanks in advance for the help!
