I wasn't sure I understood your answer, since I couldn't get it to work. I
tried adapting code from the previous example but that didn't help either.
This should be simple but it just sits there when I select an item from the
drop-down. Here's the latest ...

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
function SendTo_Template(object) {
    form.submit() = object.options[object.selectedIndex].value;
}
</SCRIPT>
</HEAD><BODY bgcolor="#FFFFFF">

<FORM>
<SELECT size="1" NAME="ProductNumber"
onChange="SendTo_Template(this.form.ProductNumber)">
<OPTION value=""> </OPTION>
<OPTION value="page1.cfm">Target Page One</OPTION>
<OPTION value="page2.cfm">Target Page Two</OPTION>
</SELECT>
</FORM>
