Multiple Form Selection

[Scott Botkins]

Hey Everyone,

I'm stuck on something I need done badly.

For my cms, it requires this for the search:

<form action="searchnews.pl?dosearch" method="POST" name="searchnews">
Search Query: <input type="text" size="35" name="searchquery"><br>
<input type="submit" value="Search">
<input type="submit" value="Search">
<input type="reset">
</form>

I need to use 4 of them for example music/searchnews.pl?dosearch, games/searchnews.pl?dosearch, movies/searchnews.pl?dosearch, wrestling/searchnews.pl?dosearch

I already have my form made:

<form action="games/searchnews.pl?dosearch" method="POST" name="searchnews"><input name="searchquery" type="text" style="font-size: 8pt; font-family: Tahoma" size="61" /><option>Select A Category<option>- Video Games<option>- Movies<option>- Music
<option>- Wrestling</select><input type="submit" style="font-size: 11px; font-family: Tahoma" value="Search!">

I have games set to default, how can I make so when they select an option it will show the correct form action?

Thanks,
Scott

Assuming that the value for all the options matches the subdirectory (i.e. games, movies), add this to your select:

onchange="this.form.action = this.options[this.selectedIndex].value + '/searchnews.pl?dosearch'"

You do know, by the way, that if someone disables JavaScript you're out of luck, right?
