Question

I am wondering if anyone has any experience using a JQuery plugin that converts a html

<select>    <option> Blah </option>  </select> 

combo box into something (probably a div) where selecting an item acts the same as clicking a link.

I guess you could probably use javascript to handle a selection event (my javascript knowledge is a little in disrepair at the moment) and ‘switch’ on the value of the combo box but this seems like more of a hack.

Your advice, experience and recommendations are appreciated.

The simple solution is to use

$('#mySelect').change(function() {   document.location = this.value; }); 

This creates an onchange event on the select box that redirects you to the url stored in the value field of the selected option.
