Simple form option variable change

[ahmedtheking]

Hi, just wondering how i can do this: I've got a form, with a select menu, and I want a variable to be passed to a button when an option is selected from the select menu, eg:

select menu:

Option 1 > value = 1
Option 2 > value = 1
...

When the user selects, say, option 1 (onchange?), I want the value to be a js variable so that I can tell a button (using macromedia gotourl) to go to a certain url where the picked option's value is in it.

How can I go about doing this?

Better not change the value per se... you need just to link some simple JavaScript code to the button that checks which one of the selects are selected.
