The javascript is part of the Simple pages app I've been working on so you can view the code here: http://code.google.com/p/django-simplepages/source/browse/trunk/simplepages/templates/pages/auto_url_prepend.js
It's a little different than what you are doing as I'm not pulling the display value of the select box, I'm actually getting another value from the foreign key object. I had to do the extra step of using django to print out a javascript hash with the id's of the SiteSections as the key and the url that I'm using to prepopulate text box (hence the reason this is a django template file and not a plain javascript file). Overall it's pretty close to what you are wanting to do though.
