Dropdown Onclick

[Ryflex]

Hi all,

 

I have a Dropdown menu and I want to have an onclick event in it.

So basicaly there's value 1 and value 2 and when I select value 2 the page goes to the link behind it.

 

I guess this is javascript and I'm a total noob in javascript so I hope anyone can help me out.

 

Thnx Ryflex

Use an onchange event. Maybe...

onchange="doThis(this.value)"

within your dropdown.

 

What do you mean behind it? The way I would do it, unless there is a better method.. is have two values in the drop down - "Value1" and "Value2"

 

Then within the head tags, create a function..

<script type="text/javascript">
function doThis(VALUE) {
     if(VALUE == "Value2") {
          window.location = "URL";
     }
}
</script>

 

Replace URL with the url to go to. This may work.

What I mean is that I have say 10 cities named in the Dropdown list each with a number value.

When I select say city 2 I need the script to go to another page which uses the value of that city in a php $_POST variable.

 

Thnx Ryflex

oh I see. I'm not sure, it's something I'd like too. Though I think you can pass the value into the redirect URL in the JS Function, and then use a GET. Though that would allow someone to manually type it in.

The point is indeed that with a GET people could input just in the adressbar.

That's why I'm looking for something with POST.
