You can do this with javascript like Tarran said.

But, you can also just delete the hidden "item_name" input and rename the listbox.
Each option must have a value like this:

<select size="1" name="item_name">
    <option value="Alabama 12-Pack Cooler">Alabama</option>
    <option value="Arkansas 12-Pack Cooler">Arkansas</option>
    <option value="Auburn 12-Pack Cooler">Auburn</option>
    ...
</select>

The form will work OK without any script if you move this list inside the form tags.

HTH :-)
