onchange event not being triggered

I have a simple select option box, the contents of which are generated from a PHP script. I looks like this

<form action="php/reloadNewList.php" method="POST">
    <select name="listToGo" onchange="redirect(this.form.value)">
    <?php 
    include('php/getMyList.php');
    getList(); 
    ?>
    </select>
</form>

The list generated looks fine

<option value="1">Hello</option>
<option value="12">Smelly</option>
etc

My JS script is simple enough as well

function redirect(value)
{
    var x=value.selectedIndex;
    alert("listToGo="+x + "\nValue = "+value);
    document.cookie = "ListCookie="+x;
    window.location.reload();
}

The problem I'm getting is that the onchange is not responding to the change on the drop down list.

Try to change:

<select name="listToGo" onchange="redirect(this)">

And:

function redirect(slct)
{
    console.log(slct)
    var x=slct.selectedIndex;
    var value = slct.value;
    alert("listToGo="+x + "\nValue = "+value);
    document.cookie = "ListCookie="+x;
    window.location.reload();
}
