[Javascript] Cookies & drop down menus

Thu Aug 16 11:01:19 CDT 2001

you could create a function

function setPage(){
     document.location.href="http://www.mysite.com/' + 
myForm.SelectBox.options[myForm.SelectBox.selectedIndex].value + '";
}

And you use the page name as the value of the options in your select. You 
then reference the function in the selects onclick event...

onclick="setPage()"

Just a thought. Hope it helps.

I have this code that's meant to select a region's site and go to it.
The next time you enter, it brings you directly there.

Now, I've gotten this to work with radio buttons and check boxes. My
silly question is: how do I get it to work with a drop-down box. Many
thanks in advance.
