Immediate redirect from pulldown selection 1

[Lochness30]

Maybe this is easy and I'm retarded But I have a web site that has a pull down and then the user clicks the "Show Index" button underneith.

Is it possible to just immediately do the "Show Index" statement without them having to press the button. Ie Not have the button and just run the command when they select an item from the pulldown.

Thanks for any help.

yes. depending on your code...

<select onchange="window.location  = this.options[this.selectedIndex].value;">
  <option value="[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.google.com/">Google</option>[/URL]
  <option value="[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.yahoo.com/">Yahoo!</option>[/URL]
  <option value="[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.msnbc.com/">Msnbc</option>[/URL]
</select>

That onchange looks promising. My list is created by php code and then it calls itself with a submit command. Not sure if your familiar with php, but it's like this...

<select name="cCategory" id="cCategory">
<?php do { ?>
<option value="<?php echo $row_rsCategory['NAME']?>"><?php echo $row_rsCategory['NAME']?></option>
<?php} while ($row_rsCategory = mysql_fetch_assoc($rsCategory));
</select>

<input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Show Index">

So is it possible for javascript to issue a SUBMIT?

Thanks for your reply!

OMG It worked!! After all that playing around with Javascripts and finding out it wasn't needed. Thanks so much.

hehe...

that IS javascript. Users with javascript disabled will still have to manually submit the form by clicking the submit button.
