Question

I’m sure this shouldn’t be so hard!

I’ve been struggling with facebook’s javascript: I need to redirect to a URL based on the value in a select drop down menu, something like:

<form name="cityselect">
    <select name="menu" onChange="location=document.cityselect.menu.options[document.cityselect.menu.selectedIndex].value;" value="GO">
        <option value="http://www.leeds.html">Leeds</option>
        <option value="http://www.manchester.html">Manchester</option>
    </select>
</form>

Can anybody help me get this working? I’ve had good look though the facebook dev forum and docs but either don’t understand what needed or can’t find the answer!

Try {} this.options also your urls are mistyped. http://www.leeds.html should be http://www.leeds.com , not sure if that is related but just wanted to point that out just in case.

        <option value="http://www.leeds.com">Leeds</option>

Parent Frame:

        <option selected="selected">Select One</option>
        <option value="http://www.leeds.com">Leeds</option>
        <option value="http://www.manchester.com">Manchester</option>
