Stripping out dashes from variable

Question

I have a jsp page that dynamically build a list of select boxes based on information out of a record set. As I build the select box I am including an onChange function that submits the form once the user selects something from the drop down list. Basically it looks like this: out.println("<select class='select' name='"+selectName+"' onChange='document."+formName+".submit();'>");
Az you can see the select name and formname are also dynamically added based on the record set return. My problem is in the database there are dashes in some of the data so I am getting something that looks like this in my resulting html: select class='select' name='A-10' onChange='document.A-10.submit();'>");
This dash is causing the onChange to not work so I need a way to strip out the dash so that the results would be A10 as apposed to A-10
Any thoughts??
p.s. This is how I filling the variable:
String selectName = request.getParameter("name");
String formName = request.getParameter("DataSet");

first of all, I dont understand why you use multiple forms on one page, but thats just me. Second, you can use
documents.forms[0].submit() to avoid the names. So just loop through your forms and use
out.println("document.forms[" + i + "].submit()");
