I have a drop down box which is working but I want to put it on the same page twice because the document.drop_list.? is hard coded it will not work if I try and use it twice on the same page I have tried sending the id to the javascript but it didn't work. Any Idea How Id do this ?
This is what I have done as of now.

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">


function fillCategory(){ 
		 // this function is used to fill the category list on load
		 addOption(document.drop_list.Category, "CORK", "CORK", "CORK");
		 addOption(document.drop_list.Category, "KERRY", "KERRY", "KERRY");
				
	}

	function SelectBarnoy(obj){
		// ON selection of category this function will work
		  removeAllOptions(document.drop_list.obj);
	      addOption(document.drop_list.obj, "", "Barnoy", "");

		  if(document.drop_list.Category.value == "CORK"){
					 addOption(document.drop_list.obj,"WEST CARBERY (WEST DIVISION)", "WEST CARBERY (WEST DIVISION)");
			 }
		 
		  if(document.drop_list.Category.value == "KERRY"){
					  addOption(document.drop_list.obj,"ABAB", "ABAB");
					  addOption(document.drop_list.obj,"KSJDJH", "KSJDJH");
					  }
					  
					  
		}


function SelectParish(){
		// ON selection of category this function will work
		  removeAllOptions(document.drop_list.Parish);
	      addOption(document.drop_list.Parish, "", "Parish", "");
		  if(document.drop_list.Category.value == "CORK"){
						  if(document.drop_list.Barnoy.value == "WEST CARBERY (WEST DIVISION)"){
						  addOption(document.drop_list.Parish,"KILCROHANE", "KILCROHANE");

				}
		  }
		  
		  if(document.drop_list.Category.value == "KERRY"){
				if(document.drop_list.Barnoy.value == "ABAB"){
							addOption(document.drop_list.Parish,"ASDA", "ASDA");
							}
				if(document.drop_list.Barnoy.value == "KSJDJH"){
					addOption(document.drop_list.Parish,"JKDJDF", "JKDJDF");
				  }
				 }
 }

function SelectTownLand(){
