OOOPS!
My previously posted message contains errors!   :(

Here is the corrected javascript for a drop down and go:

<html>
<head>
<title>Drop down and go</title>
<script language="JavaScript">
<!-- hide the js
function goThere(){
var n=document.fred.joe.selectedIndex;
var s=document.fred.joe.options[n].value;
location.replace(s + ".html");
}
// stop hiding-->
</script>

</head>

<body>
<form name="fred">
<select NAME="joe">
<option value="url-01">First Location
<option value="url-02"> Second Location
<option value="url-03"> Third Location
</select>
<input type="button" value="Go" onclick="goThere();">
</form>


</body>
</html>

Instructions: replace the url-01, etc above with your urls, 
but without the ".html"  The javascript adds the ".html"

Sorry, wishing I could take that last message back!
Embarrassed!!
