I want a simple drop down menu, and when an option is selected I want it to perform an action, e.g. redirect to a specific url.
How is this done?

Yes through .htaccess you can redirect these urls and it's working fine here.

Why redirect (i.e. return 301 status)?

Why not just a straight link to the new URL?

Ok sure, I would rather not use a redirect, how do I do it without a redirect, or without using a submit button?

var newurl;
newurl = document.getElementById('urlselector').value;
document.location.href = newurl;
}
