Drop Down Box

[Mike Griffin]

I would like to have a drop down box where when the user selects one of the
choices, it automatically loads another page. I want this to be a one stop
select and go. No submit or OK button. Just drop down, select the page and
off it loads. Is this possible with JS?

Thanks in Advance

What does the user want?

Yes, but a poor UI implementation, what if the user makes a mistake?

< select... onchange="locat ion=this[this.selectedIn dex].value">
<option value="index.ht ml">home</option>
....

Or what if I want to, or even have to, use my keyboard or mouse wheel to
scroll through the list?

Replace ".invalid" with ".uk" to reply by e-mail.

Re: Drop Down Box

Point taken, I scrapped the idea. However, the code that David pointed to
was really useful.

Thanks!
