Drop down menu & a submit button

[Olly]

I need a script that is not server side at all. I need a user to be
able to select a month from a drop down box, and then the year from
another. But to run I need them to be able to click a button to set
the script running.

The month options will be bookmarks (eg: #jan), and the year will to a
different page (eg: 2003.html).

I've now found a script that can manage only one drop down menu but i
need mine to use two:

<form name="jump">
<select name="month">
<option value="#jan">Ja nuary</option>
<option value="#feb">Fe buary</option>
<option value="#mar">Ma rch</option>
<option value="#apr">Ap ril</option>
<option value="#may">Ma y</option>
</select>

<select name="year">
<option value="index.ht ml">2004</option>
<option value="2003.htm l">2003</option>
</select>

<input type="button"
onClick="locati on=document.jum p.month.options[document.jump.m onth.selectedIn dex].value;"
value="GO">
</form>

this.month.opti ons[this.month.sele ctedIndex].value;"

have i added the code in right cos it still doesn't work:
<form name="jump">
<select name="month">
<option value="#jan">Ja nuary</option>
<option value="#feb">Fe buary</option>
<option value="#mar">Ma rch</option>
<option value="#apr">Ap ril</option>
<option value="#may">Ma y</option>
</select>

<select name="year">
<option value="index.ht ml">2004</option>
<option value="2003.htm l">2003</option>
</select>

<input type="button"
onclick="locati on=this.year.op tions[this.year.selec tedIndex].value+this.mon t
h.options[this.month.sele ctedIndex].value;" value="GO">
</form>

this is the error i get:
Line: 34
Char: 1
Error: 'this.year.opti ons' is null or not an object
Code: 0

1. Remove the ".html" from the values of your year options,
or you'll end up trying to find a page named "2003.html#may" .
2. In the context of a button's onclick handler, "this" refers
to the button. The button doesn't have year and month attributes.

onclick="f=this .form;location= f.year.options[f.year.selected Index].value+f.month. options[f.month.selecte dIndex].value+'.html'"

Thanks it worked

also for your first comment that's how I wanted the url to end up, so I took
the +'.html' bit off the end of your code to set in the correct format for
my needs.

thanks again

Yes, of course. As I wrote that I was thinking that you were
generating a page name, rather than a page and a hash.
