select box with input box

[narjis]

I'm trying to open a select box on clicking the input box. Can any body tell how is it possible.

Yes, it's possible. Though, I'd use a proper select input element.

If you're looking for auto-complete, then that's a whole different ballpark. Only recommendable when you have lots of options, and/or when they're generated by user-inputted data.

 

Hint: I strongly recommend that you read this article.

Use the following in your code..

<select name="name" id="name" onchange="return checker(this.form);">

And keep the following code in your js folder..

function checker(frm)

{

var select_index = document.getElementById('name').selectedIndex;

var option_value = document.getElementById('name').options[select_index].value;

window.location = "search.php?id=" + option_value;

}
