Dynamic Hyperlink

[Chester]

I have a form with a drop down list box containing years, (ex. 2003, 2004, etc.) I have a hyperlink that needs to pass the year that the user clicked from the drop down box. How can I do this?

<script>
  function GotoPage(theUrl){
    var sel = document.theForm.theDropDown;
    var txt = sel.options[sel.selectedIndex].text;
    window.location.href= theUrl + "?theYear=" + txt;
  } 
</script>

Thanks A1ien51, but how do I call this function? Is it done in the href statement?

[A1ien51]

easiest way

href="javascript:GotoPage('theurl.htm')"

<a href="choseyearmanually.html" onclick="GotoPage('blah');return false;">

Thanks-a-million!!!

Just make sure you actually make a "chooseyearmanually.html" in case the user doesn't have javascript enabled.
