I am not sure what you are trying to pass but if I
look at your code here you are simply going to no
value in the url...
Why not keep it simple... Using the selectedindex
below will change the url ref onchange.. Is this what
you are trying to do?
<form>
<select name="MainSilos"
onChange="window.location.href=this.form.MainSilos.options[this.form.MainSilos.selectedIndex].value">
<option value="" selected>--</option>
<option value="http://www.music.com">Music</option>
<option
value="http://www.culture.com">Culture</option>
<option
value="http://www.politics.com">Politics</option>
</select>
</form>


Regards
Steve
