I wanted a drop list, when the users picked an item, it automatically went to it instead of having hit a button. I found a script that worked:

<script language=JavaScript>

function Navigate() {
var number = NavSelect.selectedIndex;
location.href = NavSelect.options[number].value; }

</script>



<select name="NavSelect" onChange="Navigate(this.form)">
<option value="" selected>Quick Select</option>
<option value="prod1.php">product 4/option>
<option value="prod2.php">product 3</option>
<option value="prod3.php">product 3</option>
</select>



but it only works in IE. When i select an item in safari/firefox it doesn't work. any help is appreciated on making this work across browsers.

^^aren't you missing the form tags so you can reference it with...

document.formName.elementName

if i'm understanding what you want to do right all you have to do is...

window.location = document.formName.formElementName.value

and that will work in all browsers.

did away with the function and just used it within the form code. This worked for me:


<form name="f2">
<select name="NavSelect" onChange="window.location=document.f2.NavSelect.options[document.f2.NavSelect.selectedIndex].value">
..

^you don't need the .options.etc.etc

when you select an option in the drop down the value of the dropdown becomes the value of the option.

so document.f2.NavSelect.value would work too.
