Hello All,

I have a dropdown with href locations saved with its value tag. On click of GO I need to open that page. It is like:
<select name=hreflist>
<option value=&quot;hrefA&quot;> Description of A</option>
<option value=&quot;hrefB&quot;> Description of B</option>
<option value=&quot;hrefC&quot;> Description of C</option>
</select>
????<a href=&quot;url#&quot;& hrefA>GO</a>

do not know how to build it??

Thank you

Hi Nanda,

this should solve your problem
<HTML>
<SCRIPT>

function goURL() {
location.href=document.forms[0].hreflist.value;
}
</SCRIPT>
<BODY>
<FORM>
<select name=hreflist>
<option value=&quot; CNN</option>
<option value=&quot; ABC</option>
<option value=&quot; GEFM America</option>
</select>
</FORM>
<a href=&quot;javascript:goURL()&quot;>GO</A>
</BODY>
</HTML>

Thank you Chiu for your reply.

I do not have form tag and do want to have it. Do I need to create one for using document.form[0]..?? because document.hreflist.value does not work.

thank you

yes.. you need to have forms[0] or your form name there.. otherwise it won't work. In fact, if you don't put the <FORM> tag in your html, the drop down menu won't show on Netscape. [sig]<p>Chiu Chan<br><a href=mailto:cchan@gefmus.com>cchan@gefmus.com</a><br><a href= America, Inc</a><br>[/sig]

Thanks again Chiu.

With FORM it is working. Without this tag, dropdown show up in Netscape6 but GO does not work but in IE.

Anyway, FORM tag has solved my problem for Both the browsers.
