Re: form and links in selects

Have you ruled out JavaScript???

I would try :


<FORM name="SRDIndex" target="new" >
<SELECT
name="URL"onChange="if(options[selectedIndex].value)window.location.href=(options[selectedIndex].value)">

<OPTION value="">Select Here</OPTION>
<OPTION value="http://www.wherever.com">text option
1</OPTION>
<OPTION value="http://www.whatever.com">text option
2</OPTION>
<OPTION value="http://www.another.com">text option
3</OPTION>
<OPTION
value="http://www.wherever.com/pages.html">text option
4</OPTION>
<OPTION
value="http://www.whatever.com/pages.html">text option
5</OPTION>
<OPTION value="http://www.another.com/pages.html">text
option 6</OPTION>
</SELECT>
<NOSCRIPT>
<INPUT type=submit value="Go">
</NOSCRIPT>
</FORM>
