    Is it possible to have a drop down selection take the user to an associated url for that particular selection? I have a list of options and would like to have a specific url associated with each drop down option. Once the user clicks on the drop down option, I need a new web page to open and take the user to that page.

    Is this possible?

  2. Yes, it is cake. Just put your full html link info in the option box instead of text.

    For instance:

    http://www.lakesideca.com/machform/view.php?id=7

    The first link would open the page in the existing pane. The second would open a new page.

    I can make this work with a radio button like you have, but I cannot get it to work with the drop down. I put the full url in, but when I select it from the drop down, nothing happens.

    I tried:
    Service Catalog

    and I also tried:
    Yahoo

    Any suggestions?

  4. Sorry, I kinda knee jerked and did not read your message thoroughly.

    And I would say that you probably can't do a drop down without some real coding work. As a drop down is intended to take a selection from a list and post the results.

    Maybe redityo or yuniar should get involved here. I am a rookie....

    I will mess around in the meantime and see if I can come up with something.
