onSelect load page

[mwpclark]

Hello

I have a form that is displayed within an iframe, named "contribute". The form is a php page, "form.php".

The first field in the form is a drop-down select field. I want to use onSelect (I *think*) to reload the php page within the iframe, passing the value of the selected option to php.

That is, when selected:

<select name="identity" onSelect statement???>
<option value="1">1</option>

should output the following:

"/form.php?identity=1" target="contribute" (or "_self")

Do any quick javascript examples come to mind?

Thanks a bunch
Mike

Sorry maybe that should be onfocus or onchange.

If your form is set up with the 'get' method, simply submit the form:

<select name="identity" onchange="this.form.submit();">

Hope this helps,
Dan

alternatively you can use the window.location method.

<select name="identity" onChange="window.location='nameofpage.php?myvalue=' + this.value;">
<option value="1">1</option>
