You'd have to set a variable with a scope that both functions can
access. For your case, you probably just set a global variable.
'var' sets a variable.
var my_val = '';
$('select').change(function() {
$('select option:selected').each(function() {
my_val = $(this).val(); // remove the 'var' here
});//end each
});//end change
$('#my_submit').submit(function() {
var action = $('form').attr('action');
// How do I get my_val variable into here??
$('form').attr('action', action + 'new_parm=' + my_val);
