hansford Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 Javascript and ajax can do this without reloading or submitting the page-ie a redirect. How to do this-? well, you'll have to wait til tomorrow when I sober up hehe Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/108650-drop-down-menu/#findComment-557202 Share on other sites More sharing options...
hansford Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 Well forget ajax - it's not needed here since you want to go directly to another page. This is a javascript example. The <option value='india' or whatever you want to call it would be the name of the page that contains the states ie: 'india'. The javascript function will add it's ending ie: '.php' or '.html' -------------------------------------- <html> <body> <?php echo "<form name='formcountries' method='post' action=''>"; echo "<select name='countries' onchange='getstates(this.form)'>"; echo "<option value='india'>India</option>"; echo "<option value='africa'>Africa</option>"; echo "<option value='america'>America</option>"; echo "</select></form>"; ?> <script language='javascript'> function getstates(frm){ var box = frm.countries; var value = box.options[box.selectedIndex].value; window.location.href= eval('"http://www.youraddress.com/' + value + '.php"'); } </script> </body> </html> Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/108650-drop-down-menu/#findComment-557451 Share on other sites More sharing options...
