Linked Drop Down Boxes

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
May 31.2006

Hi,

How (if possible) can I make selections link to another page or website using a simple drop down box? So for instance if someone clicked on volvo it would go to a volvo dealers website…

I’ve added the HTML for people to add their knowledge!

<html>
<body>

<form>
<select name=”cars”>
<option value=”volvo”>Volvo
<option value=”saab”>Saab
<option value=”fiat”>Fiat
<option value=”audi”>Audi
</select>
</form>

</body>
</html>

@KeveyMay 31.2006 — Using javascript:

And another method using html - you can add titles/doctype etc and make it validate ?

[CODE]<html lang="en-US">
<head>
</head>
<body>
<form method="get" action="http://www.google.com/url">
<select name="q">
<option value="http://www.cnn.com/">cnn dot com
<option value="http://web.mit.edu/">MIT Rocks
<option value="http://www.wustl.edu/">WU Who
<input type="submit"></form>
</body>
</html>[/CODE]

@kiwibritMay 31.2006 — From the [url=http://www.w3schools.com/html/tryit.asp?filename=tryhtml_select2]the w3c example[/url]. Thereafter it becomes a form handling matter. I tend to think radio buttons are more accessible, and friendlier - I'd be interested in comment on that, though.

Success!
