basic idea:

var sel = document.forms[0].selectionName;
var strValue = sel.options[sel.selectedIndex].value;

document.forms[0].elements["OtherselectionList" + strValue].display = "inline";
run with that.

should have used onchange event, not onfocus, aplied on select element, not on options subelements:

<select onchange="showOptions(this.value)">
