"Finally, you can change the ACTION of a form if you want to:
document.forms[0].action = 'the_other_script.pl';
This can come in very handily if a form has to be submitted to another
script in some cases."
Okley Dokley...
I'm a shocker and I've obviously gotten some sytax grossly incorrect. If I
try to use the code below it tells me that document.formName is not an
object. Could someone please help?
<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
{
document.formName.action =
document.formName.group.options[document.formName.group.selectedIndex].value
;
}
// -->
</script>
<form name="formName" action="cgi-bin/script1.cgi" method=post>
<select name="group" size="1">
<option>Select a List</option>
<option value="cgi-bin/script1.cgi">Option1</option>
<option value="cgi-bin/script2.cgi">Option2</option>
</select>
<input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit">
</form>
Cheers :0)
