That selector is part of a form, and it has an "OnChange" element
which executes a function called "ControlSync". You'll need to locate
that function to see what it does to the form.

It might be simpler to install LiveHTTPHeaders in Firefox and look at
what happens when you go to the page and make the selection.
LiveHTTPHeaders records all the headers sent out by your browser, as
well as the headers received in response.
