Just a followup and a solution to the problem.

You cannot use text1.value for the select parameter.
You must make use of the index of the options.

The following modified html works.

 <html>
 <head>
 <script language="JavaScript">
 <!-- Hide
 
 function test1(form) 
{
 
  index=form.text1.selectedIndex;  
  if (form.text1.options[index].text == "")
    {alert("Please enter a string!");}
  else if (form.text1.options[index].text == "INCOR")
   { parent.location.href="http://www.prostar.com/web/alpine/incor/";}
  else if (form.text1.options[index].text == "ALPine")
   {
parent.location.href="http://www.prostar.com/web/alpine/welcome.htm";}
 }
 // -->
 </script>
 </head>
 <body>
 <form name="first" method="post">
 THE ORGANIZATION YOU WANT TO GOTO IS<br>
 <select name="text1">
 <option selected value="ALPine">ALPine
 <option value="INCOR">INCOR
 </select>
 <input type="button" name="button1" value="GOTO"
 onClick="test1(this.form)">
 <P>
 </form>
 </body>
 </html>

 Have more fun in your web authoring !
