Drop Down Redirect


unemployment

Recommended Posts

When a make a selection from a drop down list, I want the page to redirect. For example, if I selected Digital Media from the menu, I want the page to go to digitalmedia.php .

 

How do I do that with this code?

 

    <select id='industry' name='industry' value=''>

               

      <option value='' selected='selected'>Select an Industry</option>

      <option value='Digital Media'>Digital Media</option>

      <option value='Software'>Software</option>

               

    </select>

Not sure how you ahcieved this, but here's a way for anyone else it may help..

 

The JavaScript:

<script type="text/javascript">
window.onload = function() {
    document.getElementById('industry').onchange = function() {
        redirectToIndustry(this.value)
    };
}

function redirectToIndustry(loc)
{
    window.location = loc + '.php';
}
</script>

 

The HTML:

<select id="industry" name="industry">
    <option value="">Select an industry</option>
    <option value="digitalmedia">Digital Media</option>
    <option value="software">Software</option>
</select>
