request variable?

[derketa]

Hi,
I need to redirect my page to itself on th onChange event of the select box with the value selected.I am using:

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
function redirect(URLStr) { location = URLStr; }
</script>

....


<select name="select_project" id="select_project" onChange="javascript:redirect('add_pro_sv.php?sproject=this.value');">

How can i use this variable in my php code?

try this, and use the value of the option as your var.

<select onChange="if(this.options[this.selectedIndex].value.length>0){top.location.href=''add_pro_sv.php?sproject='+this.options[this.selectedIndex].value}">

it did not work" ?

It does work, I would class user error as the problem.

providing javascript is enabled, which would also exclude ur code. This will redirect the page.

try this:

<select onChange="if(this.options[this.selectedIndex].value.length>0){top.location.href=''add_pro_sv.php?sproject='+this.options[this.selectedIndex].value}">
<option>** Select **</option>
<option value="testme">Test Me</option>
</select>

Simon,

Both versions of your code suffer from the same problem - double apostrophes directly after "top.location.href=".

Hope this solves the ''user error'' problem ;o)
