  1. POForm - How to submit and go to url?
    text
    copied!<p>I have this form below which is perfect for my needs with dependent fields. What I would like to do is when someone selects one of the subcategories (ie: Beddings), they would then be transferred to a url (ex: www.beddings.com). But this is far beyond my understanding!</p> <p>Any help would be appreciated!</p> <p>Here is a demo of this form: <a href="http://www.tamilcodes.com/demopages/jsdropdownlist.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.tamilcodes.com/demopages/jsdropdownlist.html</a></p> <pre><code>&lt;!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"&gt; &lt;html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"&gt; &lt;head&gt; &lt;meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /&gt; &lt;script language="javascript" type="text/javascript"&gt; function dropdownlist(listindex) { document.formname.subcategory.options.length = 0; switch (listindex) { case "Home Ware" : document.formname.subcategory.options[0]=new Option("Select Sub-Category",""); document.formname.subcategory.options[1]=new Option("Air-Conditioners/Coolers","Air- Conditioners/Coolers"); document.formname.subcategory.options[2]=new Option("Audio/Video","Audio/Video"); document.formname.subcategory.options[3]=new Option("Beddings","Beddings"); document.formname.subcategory.options[4]=new Option("Camera","Camera"); document.formname.subcategory.options[5]=new Option("Cell Phones","Cell Phones"); break; case "Education" : document.formname.subcategory.options[0]=new Option("Select Sub-Category",""); document.formname.subcategory.options[1]=new Option("Colleges","Colleges"); document.formname.subcategory.options[2]=new Option("Institutes","Institutes"); document.formname.subcategory.options[3]=new Option("Schools","Schools"); document.formname.subcategory.options[4]=new Option("Tuitions","Tuitions"); document.formname.subcategory.options[5]=new Option("Universities","Universities"); break; case "Books" : document.formname.subcategory.options[0]=new Option("Select Sub-Category",""); document.formname.subcategory.options[1]=new Option("College Books","College Books"); document.formname.subcategory.options[2]=new Option("Engineering","Engineering"); document.formname.subcategory.options[3]=new Option("Magazines","Magazines"); document.formname.subcategory.options[4]=new Option("Medicine","Medicine"); document.formname.subcategory.options[5]=new Option("References","References"); break; } return true; } &lt;/script&gt; &lt;/head&gt; &lt;title&gt;Dynamic Drop Down List&lt;/title&gt; &lt;body&gt; &lt;form id="formname" name="formname" method="post" action="submitform.asp" &gt; &lt;table width="50%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="5"&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;td width="41%" align="right" valign="middle"&gt;Category :&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td width="59%" align="left" valign="middle"&gt;&lt;select name="category" id="category" onchange="javascript: dropdownlist(this.options[this.selectedIndex].value);"&gt; &lt;option value=""&gt;Select Category&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option value="Home Ware"&gt;Home Ware&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option value="Education"&gt;Education&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option value="Books"&gt;Books&lt;/option&gt; &lt;/select&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;td align="right" valign="middle"&gt;Sub Category : &lt;/td&gt; &lt;td align="left" valign="middle"&gt;&lt;script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript"&gt; document.write('&lt;select name="subcategory"&gt;&lt;option value=""&gt;Select Sub- Category&lt;/option&gt; &lt;/select&gt;') &lt;/script&gt; &lt;noscript&gt;&lt;select name="subcategory" id="subcategory" &gt; &lt;option value=""&gt;Select Sub-Category&lt;/option&gt; &lt;/select&gt; &lt;/noscript&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;/table&gt; &lt;/form&gt; &lt;/body&gt; &lt;/html&gt; </code></pre>
