You cannot pass the value directly to the handler but you can get the values in it, I’d recommend to do this in code and not use inline event handlers:

var select = document.forms[0].sel;
select.onchange = function(){
   var value =  select.options[select.selectedIndex].value; // to get Value
   var text =  select.options[select.selectedIndex].text; // to get Text
}

Here’s a working example:
