Here i am posting the answer just for reference 1 which may become useful.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<script>
function show()
{
     var InvForm = document.forms.form;
     var SelBranchVal = "";
     var x = 0;
     for (x=0;x<InvForm.kb.length;x++)
         {
            if(InvForm.kb[x].selected)
            {
             //alert(InvForm.kb[x].value);
             SelBranchVal = InvForm.kb[x].value + "," + SelBranchVal ;
            }
         }
         alert(SelBranchVal);
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form name="form">
<select name="kb" id="kb" onclick="show();" multiple>
<option value="India">India</option>
<option selected="selected" value="US">US</option>
<option value="UK">UK</option>
<option value="Japan">Japan</option>
</select>
<!--input type="submit" name="cmdShow" value="Customize Fields"
 onclick="show();" id="cmdShow" /-->
</form>

Take a look at HTMLSelectElement.selectedOptions.

HTML

<select name="north-america" multiple>
  <option valud="ca" selected>Canada</a>
  <option value="mx" selected>Mexico</a>
  <option value="us">USA</a>
</select>

JavaScript

var elem = document.querySelector("select");

console.log(elem.selectedOptions);
//=> HTMLCollection [<option value="ca">Canada</option>, <option value="mx">Mexico</option>]

This would 2 also work on non-multiple <select> elements


Warning: Support for 1 this selectedOptions seems pretty unknown at this point

Also, change this:

    SelBranchVal = SelBranchVal + "," + InvForm.SelBranch[x].value;

to

    SelBranchVal = SelBranchVal + InvForm.SelBranch[x].value+ "," ;

The reason is that 2 for the first time the variable SelBranchVal will be 1 empty
