Re: Problem submitting drop-down menu form

["Miles Eddins" <miles_eddins@hotmail.com>]

Stanley,

Here is what I did to for a drop-down list search. Works great:

<SCRIPT language="JavaScript">
function doIt(){
location.href=document.PBNForm.Myselect.options[document.PBNForm.Myselect.selectedIndex].value;
               }
</SCRIPT>

<FORM name="PBNForm">

<SELECT name="Myselect" onchange="doIt()">
  <option>By Product Type</option>
  <option value="[area scan tf=category, title/va=category=*]">All 
Products</option>
  <option value="[area scan se=something1/sf=category/tf=title]">Something 
1</option>
  <option value="[area scan se=something2/sf=category/tf=title]">Something 
2</option>
  <option value="[area scan se=something3/sf=category/tf=title]">Something 
3</option>
</SELECT>

</FORM>

Hope that helps,
Miles
