Drop Down List

Going to a Certain URL when selected

[joe1182]

O.k. what I would like to do is create a drop down list that has say 15 options. Each option will take you to a different URL when selected. Does anyone know of a good script that would do this? Any help would be appreciated.

I do not know if it is a good one :)

Look here [webmasterworld.com]
but it will give you some directions
scrol the thread down till "My dropbox contrib"

change the DB values with your URLs

however there are many ways to achieve it.

other members will come with other systems

Thanks for the response Henry0! However I think that may be a little more complicated than what I need to do. I will try to explain better.

Option Box
Value#1
Value#2
Value#3

These values will already be manually typed in by me. I want when Value#1 is selected that "http://www.example.com" is opened up but, when Value#2 is selected "http://www.example1.com" is opened. Does this make sense?

<select onChange="self.location= this.options[this.selectedIndex].value">
<option value="http://www.google.com">google</option>
<option value="http://www.webmasterworld.com">webmasterworld</option>
</select>

tata668,
Thank you so much that is what I was looking for. The page I am placing this box in is a framed page. This will reside in the top frame but, I would like the page to open up in the bottom frame. Any tips?

[tata668]

You have to give a name to your frames and replace "self" by the name of the frame you want to target in the script..

Great Thanks! Thank you so much for all your help.

o.k I tried this

<select onChange="main.location = this.options[this.selectedIndex].value">

The Frame I want this to open in is named "main" but, when I try the code above nothing happens. What am I doing wrong?

[tata668]

try:

<select onChange="top.main.location = this.options[this.selectedIndex].value">

[joe1182]

That worked! Thanks!

[tata668]

no problem!
