Question

This script works as shown.

I want to replace:

alert(q2) ;

with:

window.location.href = q2 ;

to redirect, but it doesn’t work.

    <form onSubmit=" var q = document.getElementById('addTable') ; var q2 = 'http://www.mysite.com/add/' + q.options[q.selectedIndex].text + '/' ; alert (q2) ; ">

    Add a new record in 
    <select id="addTable">

    <option value="" >[choose a table]</option>
    <option value="articles" >articles</option>
    <option value="blogs" >blogs</option>

    </select>
    <input type="submit" value="go">
    </form>

Answer 1

it would be better to do this as follows

<script>
 function go(){
 var q = document.getElementById('addTable') ; var q2 = 'http://www.site.com.au/add/' +     q.options[q.selectedIndex].text + '/' ; window.location=q2 ;
}
</script>

<form>

    Add a new record in 
    <select id="addTable">

    <option value="" >[choose a table]</option>
    <option value="articles" >articles</option>
    <option value="blogs" >blogs</option>

    </select>

    <input type="button" value="go" onclick="go()">
    </form>
