Need multiple options displayed on paypal checkout

When items are added to the cart... only the item number displays on checkout.
I'm using just a simple javascript integration for paypal. No PHP.

When the customer checks out, there is no indication of what size or color they chose despite having those options available. How can I get more than just the first option to display? I tried adding the option variables that I found in the developers section of paypal but it didn't work.

This is the code on the item page

<input type="hidden" class="item_number" value="M1001" name="on0"/> </form>
<select class="item_size" name="on1">
<option value="S"> S </option>
<option value="M"> M </option>
<option value="L"> L </option>
<option value="XL"> XL </option>
<option value="XXL"> XXL </option>
</select>
&nbsp;
<select class="item_color" name="on2">
<option value="Blk/Wht"> Black/White </option>
<option value="Nvy/Pfc"> Navy/Pacific </option>
</select>
&nbsp;
<input value="1" class="item_Quantity" type="text" size="3">




and this is part of my javascript coding:

this.paypalCheckout = function() {

var winpar = "scrollbars,location,resizable,status",
strn = "https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_cart" +
"&upload=1" +
"&business=" + this.email +
"&currency_code=" + this.currency,
counter = 1,
itemsString = "";


if( this.taxRate ){
strn = strn +
"&tax_cart=" + this.currencyStringForPaypalCheckout( this.taxCost );
}

for( var current in this.items ){
var item = this.items[current];

var optionsString = "";
for( var field in item ){
if( typeof(item[field]) != "function" && field != "id" && field != "price" && field != "quantity" && field != "name" /*&& field != "shipping"*/) {
optionsString = optionsString + "&" + field + "=" + item[field] ;
}
}
optionsString = optionsString.substring(1);

itemsString = itemsString + "&item_name_" + counter + "=" + item.name +
"&item_number_" + counter + "=" + counter +
"&quantity_" + counter + "=" + item.quantity +
"&amount_" + counter + "=" + this.currencyStringForPaypalCheckout( item.price ) +
"&on0_" + counter + "=" + "Options" +
"&os0_" + counter + "=" + optionsString;
counter++;
}

if( this.shipping() != 0){
itemsString = itemsString + "&item_name_" + counter + "=Shipping" +
"&item_number_" + counter + "=" + counter +
"&quantity_" + counter + "=1" +
"&amount_" + counter + "=" + this.currencyStringForPaypalCheckout( this.shippingCost );
}


strn = strn + itemsString ;
window.open (strn, "paypal", winpar);
};
