Accessible jump menu without go button

Dear world.

I am trying to create a jump menu for a website I'm working on and do not want to use the old go button.

I've had a look on t'internet and wherever I go it refers to accessible = go button.

I'm sure someone out there know the answer to this one. Phoned Jacob but got his answering machine...

The "go" button for accessibility was traditionally because some browsers didn't support the "onchange" event of the <select>

But now that accessibility actually means accessibility in the true sense (access for all, rather than legacy degrading like we used to mean) the need for a "go" button is ever more pertinent - for browsers that don't support javascript the form can post to a server-side script that performs the same functionality as the JS redirect.

So there isn't another answer. You have to have a button. But you can style it to look nicer, or use <input type="image" - that's just as good (providing it has ALT text, obviously :))

Ok thanks for that.

Hypothetically then, in a world where IE 6.0 is ubiquitous, is there any way that using the keyboard stokes you can select the contents of a drop down and hit enter without having the go button?
