I want the user to pick from a dropdown menu and their choice then fills the contents of the second menu. When picking from the second menu I want them to be redirected to a url relevant to their choice.

Eg: menu 1 - choices of cars, vans, bikes / menu 2 (if cars is chosen) - choices of audi, bmw, citroen - then when picking audi it goes to the audi site

this needs to be able to work in html and not be a php solution or similar (java etc is fine)

I found this similar query: Populate one dropdown based on selection in another then redirect

but the person who answered assumes a higher level of knowledge than i have and as there isnt a complete answer there with complete code i'm stumped.

I then found this one: directing user to url based on his choice from dropdown menu

It works exactly as i want except it wont work in Internet Explorer (I discovered that after i had implemented it sadly). Any idea on how I can get what I want to happen?

I would post on both of those but moderators delete my questions as apparently you aren't allowed to question incorrect solutions...

Set the value to the link of the website and after that with a little jquery :

$('#yourdropdown').on('change',function(){
  var where_to = $(this).val();
  window.location = where_to;
});

If you can't set the value to the actual link you ll have to make a switch statement depending on the value define where_to = to the link desired.

  • thanks for that but i dont think i can add a value and my level of coding means i'm a little confused by your answer (sorry) - would you be so kind as to look at the code on this example (in Tad's answer) (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14048963/directing-user-to-url-based-on-his-choice-from-dropdown-menu?rq=1) and let me know if what you suggest is possible? and if so - how? many thanks! – James Olney Sep 26 '13 at 11:48
