I don't know if this is your problem, but be nice to your browser -- quote your attribute properties. I'm thinking it should look more like this...

<input type="text" class="text_box2" name="lstMAName" + s + onchange="showMAName( escape( this.value )," + s + ")" id="select2" />

Question:
So what is this +s+ following the name attribute and in the showMAName function arguments?

If it's supposed to be a javascript variable, is this line supposed to be being written with a javascript write() because that piece of information sure would come in handy to solving your problem

If it's not a javascript variable then what is it exactly

And if it is a javascript variable but not generated with a javascript write() then your html element is not getting that data.

If you clarify your situation I will try to help you more

Otherwise escape() and unescape() work as prescribed.
