Dropdown without Go Button

[Dalziel]

I would prefer to use PHP over Javascript but I don't know if what I want to do is possible with PHP or how to do it if it is, what I want is a dropdown and when you select an option from it, you are automatically taken to another page (no button to click) is that possible without JS?

no i dont think it ispossible with out javascript. But by using javascript your object has been solved , onchange event of select , is used in that case. If u get the way without useingjavascript then plz let me know.

anurag_shr is right. PHP is a server-side language, what you're describing is a client-side behaviour. Once the page is loaded in your browser, forget PHP. It's simple enough to do with JS using the onChange method as mentioned.

Cheers.

An example is on this very page:


<select name="forumid"
onchange="window.location=('forumdisplay.php?s=&daysprune=&forumid='+this.options[this.selectedIndex].value)">
<option value="-1" >Please select one:</option>
<option value="-1">--------------------</option>
<option value="pm" >Private Messages</option>
<option value="cp" >User Control Panel</option>
<!-- and so on -->
</select>
