<!--Widget Ends Here-->
<!--Below this line is the javascript that must appear on the page where your Primo VE widget is placed. Many people argue that Javascript should be the last thing to run on a page and is best placed right before the closing body tag-->

default:

break;
}
document.getElementById("primoTab").value = tabValue;
document.forms["searchForm"].submit();
}

<!--End Javascript for Primo VE widget-->

If admins change the names of values, "MyInst_and_CI," "MyInstitution," "CentralIndex," or the other optional collections (Ebsco/Course Reserves), the Javascript and option value in the HTML need to be changed in this code as well.
