Not able to alert the value of Select value

I am tying to alert the value of namesEmp variable and i get this Ljava.lang.String;@3433205b as result.

my javacsript:

function getNames(names) {       
           var namesEmp = "";  
           var namesEmpText = "";
           for(i=0;i<names.length;i++) {               
                    if(names.options[i].selected) {             
                          namesEmp = names.options[i].value;  
                          namesEmpText = names.options[i].text;                         
                            alert(namesEmp); 
                            alert(namesEmpText);  
                    }
            }        
  }

and here is my HTML:

<tr  style="position:relative;left:19;top:1;display:none;">
        <td style="position:relative;top:1;text-align:right;">Country:</td>
        <td>
            <select id="namePay" name="namesPay" onChange="setTimeout('getNames(f.name)',1);">
                <%
                String namesDesc = "";
                if(namesList.size()>0){                 
                        for(int i=0;i<namesList.size();i++){
                             String[] namesValues = ((String)namesList.get(i)).split("~");                           
                             NamesText = namesValues[0];                              
                %> 
                    <option value="<%=namesValues%>"><%=NamesText%>                    
                        <%}
                      }%>

            </select>
        </td>
    </tr>

When I alert namesEmpText, i get the the correct result. Any help would be appreciated.

The issue is here:

<option value="<%=namesValues%>"><%=NamesText%>
                  ^

You are trying to render the Java object namesValues (a string array), as a select option value. The JVM doesn't know how to automatically convert an array to a string, so it renders the type name for it instead. Did you mean to include an indexer to that array? For example:

<option value="<%=namesValues[1]%>"><%=namesValues[0]%>
