exact first word problem

hi i have this

function getComboA(sel) {
var v1 = sel.options[sel.selectedIndex].value;

in hear i `m getting v1 as

v1=UK00GEL GEL

but i want to get to v1=UK00GEL



document.getElementById('b').value =v1;

}

... how do i do this to get the value only the first word

<script type = "text/javascript">
var v1 = "UK00GEL GEL";
v1 = v1.replace(/\s\w+/,"");
alert (v1);
</script>

Instead of
var v1 = sel.options[sel.selectedIndex].value;
you can simply use
var v1 = sel.value;
