Help with dropboxes and links

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Aug 28.2005

I’m trying to put the selected value of a dropbox into a link to a perl script. What I’m looking for is something along the lines of this:

[code=html]<select name=”dropbox”>
<option value=”Huey”>Huey</option>
<option value=”Duey”>Duey</option>
<option value=”Louie”>Louie</option>
</select>

<a href=”perlscript.cgi?action=blah&user=DROPBOX VALUE HERE>blah</a>
<a href=”perlscript.cgi?action=geh&user=DROPBOX VALUE HERE>geh</a>[/code]

I hope that gets the idea of what I’m trying to do across. Does anyone know how to do this?

@cyber1Aug 29.2005 — Try this:
[CODE]<a href="#" onClick="getDataHref('purge',document.main.file.options[document.main.file.selectedIndex].value)">purge</a> |
[/CODE]
main = your form name

file = your select list name


In my case I needed to do some other things as well so I also had a function in the head section

function getDataHref(loc,file){

this.location.href='$cgi_url/$this_scriptname?'+loc+'=1&file=' +file

}

I think it could be done as a one liner though.
