Try this, copy and paste into a blank page in html view. Then edit the options for what you want.

<p align="center"><b>Select a Site or Function: </b><select id="setit">
<option value="">Select one</option>
<option value="javascript:window.open('http://www.altavista.com')">AltaVista</option>
<option value="javascript:window.open('http://www.yahoo.com')">Yahoo</option>
<option value="javascript:window.open('http://www.google.com')">Google</option>
</select><input type="button" value="Go"
onclick="eval(setit.options[setit.selectedIndex].value)"></input>

That sure does what I want, almost.

How do I have it so when you click the drop down and then
click yahoo it goes there. Instead of click yahoo and
then clicking go..

Thanks for what you did if I can't make it do what I want
I will go with this.

To do this without the GO button.

delete the <input type> tag at the bottom

delete the current opening select tag and replace it with

<select tag, add onchange="eval(setit.options[setit.selectedIndex].value)">

I think this is how you do it....others may post correcting me.

The onchange event is what makes it go straight to the other link.


<select tag, add onchange="eval(setit.options[setit.selectedIndex].value)">
<option....>.....</option>
</select>

etc.

<p align="center"><b>Select a Site or Function: </b>

<option value="">Select one</option>
<option

<option value="javascript:window.open('http://www.yahoo.com')">Yahoo</option>
<option value="javascript:window.open('http://www.google.com')">Google</option>
</select><input type="button" value="Go"
onclick="eval(setit.options[setit.selectedIndex].value)"></input>

Gene,

To do the drop down menu without the GO button.

Delete the <input type> (button) at the bottom of the code;
Add the following code to the opening <select>

onchange="eval(setit.options[setit.selectedIndex].value)"

which gives you:

<select add onchange="eval(setit.options[setit.selectedIndex].value)">

then add your <option> list (as in the demo from Steve Easton)
and close off with </select>

You really need to use the Go button. If you don't, people with disabilities that can't use a mouse
and have to use tab and arrows on the keyboard will only be able to select the first thing on the
list.
