Finding the value of a pull-down menu

I've been working on my huge form some more and I think I've narrowed down at least one of the problems to the following code:
function updateReg() {
    var title = "";
    var dateIndex = calculateDate();
    RegFees = 0;
    for(i=1;i<=4;i++)
     {
      var which = "document.form1.cat"+i;
      var sel = eval(which+".selectedIndex");
      alert("i = " + i + ", sel = " + sel);
      var t = eval(which+".options["+sel+"].value");
      alert("i = " + i + ", t = " + t);
      if(t != "--Choose One--")
       {
        title += "R"+i+" - "+t+" - $"+Categories[sel][dateIndex]+".00\n";
        RegFees += Categories[sel][dateIndex];
       }
     }
    document.form1.reg_title.value = title;
    updateTotal();
}


Especially this line:
var t = eval(which+".options["+eval(which+".selectedIndex")+"].value");


It works fine in Firefox but in IE I keep getting t="" instead of the value of the cat1 (cat2, etc) menu.
