Simple html drop down menus

[richm8026]

I'm having some difficulties here, I want to create a simple drop down menu to save room on my, I know to use <option value="Free Sign Up"> But I want it to do go to this site: www. myleague. com/badattitudes/FreeSignUp, how would i make that Option Value load that link? Thanks in advance! ;)

Sorry, I do not use Microsoft, so that stuff isn't handy for me..

do you want it so that when they chose the drop down it redirects them to a new page, or do you want them to have to submit the form and it will redirect them to a new page.

The first can be done in javascript and the second can be done in php or most any other programming language

Thanks, and yes, just redirect, it doesn't have to be anything fancy... So, I figured maybe JS would be the best way to go.

Here is something that I found online...not sure how well it will work, but it is worth a shot

<script type="text/javascript">
var selectmenu=document.getElementById("mymenu")
selectmenu.onchange=function(){
 var chosenoption=this.options[this.selectedIndex]
 if (chosenoption.value!="nothing"){
  window.location = chosenoption.value
 }
}
</script>

<form id="aform">
<select id="mymenu" size="1">
<option value="nothing" selected="selected">Select a site</option>
<option value="http://www.dynamicdrive.com">Dynamic Drive</option>
<option value="http://www.codingforums.com">Coding Forums</option>
<option value="http://www.cssdrive.com">CSS Drive</option>
</select>
</form>

that is worth a shot...i haven't tried it

This works okay,

<form>
<select>
<option OnClick="window.location='yourlink'"> Blah Blah Blah</option>
</select>
</form>

Thanks, it makes sense, =-)
Edit:
It makes sense, but it doesn't work, it acts like it's missing some kind of operand.

I would try the second one posted, if you want, I can look into fixing the version, but like I suggested, I would try the other one.

[richm8026]

Thanks, I tried them both, they both didn't work, I wonder what's going on with them..

Did you use a valid link format for the links? Also, for my code, you need to make sure the ' ' are still in place at the beginining and end of the link.
