Javascript. (Sorry to be brief, but I'm tired)

First off, I would look at valid code.  You need to fix up your code to be:

 

<select class="special" name="dest">

          <option value="" selected="selected">Add new destination</option>

          <option value="SZB">SZB</option>

          ...

</select>

 

Now you shouldn't be posting this into PHP forum, it is javascript that you are looking for to trigger it:

 

If you want to use PHP to reload the page with the changed value.  For example, if you choose anything in the drop down, it will reload the page with the selected value as a $_GET var, which you can use an if statement to see if it is "Add new destination":

 

<select class="special" name="dest" onchange="location.href='<? echo $_SERVER[php_SELF]."?selection=";?>'+escape(this.options[this.selectedIndex].text)">

 

Or you could write a javascript function and call it on the onchange and make it only do whatever you want if the value is "Add new destination"
