Drop Down - PHP or Javascript?

Mike-2003

I would like to add a drop down box to a web page which would have 3 selections in it (i.e. A, B, C) and when one is selected such as 'A' and a submit button is clicked it would go to another url.

I wanted to see what would be better to use PHP or Javascript?

And if there is a sample script which will help?

Thanks!

Sounds like you need javascript..

In your <head> section :
<script language="JavaScript">

</script>

In your <body> section:
<form name="form">
<select name="site">
<option value="">Go to....
<option value="http://www.a.com">A
<option value="http://www.b.com">B
<option value="http://www.c.com">C
</select>
<input type=button value="Go!" onClick="javascript:formHandler(this)">
</form>

Or, on the page that the form submits to you can use a php redirect. header("location: $url");

I am only suggesting this because my dad would never forgive me if I created a form that didn't work on a 15 year-old Mac. 🙂
