This is a very simple task. Any Google search could have given you the answer. There's even one on this very page called "Forum Jump."

<select onchange="window.location=this.value">

Thanks for reply. I have 5-6 fields in drop down. But when i click on "ManageAccount" option they only it should invoke. I tried in the following way.

<select name=CATEGORY class=selInput onchange="onChange=go();">
<option value="sample1">sample1</option>
<option value="sample2">sample2</option>
<option value=\"#\"> ---------------- </option>
<option value="manageaccount"> manage accounts</option>
</select>

<head>
<script>
function go() {
window.location = "ozSetupOptValues.jsp?id=SLS_CUSTOMER_CATEGORY";
}
</script>
</head>

It is calling the JS function when i choose every option. But i need to invoke the JSP when i choose "Manage Accounts" only. Can you an idea on this ??

thanks ..

So you need to pass this as a parameter of the go() function. From within the function, you can check the value of the selected item of the <select> tag but using the parameter.

<script type="text/javascript">
function go(select) {
if (select.value == 'manageaccount') {window.location = 'ozSetupOptValues.jsp?id=SLS_CUSTOMER_CATEGORY';}
}
</script>

<select name="CATEGORY" class="selInput" onchange="go(this)">
<option value="sample1">sample1</option>
<option value="sample2">sample2</option>
<option value=\"#\"> ---------------- </option>
<option value="manageaccount"> manage accounts</option>
</select>

This really is very basic JavaScript. I highly suggest that you read up on some tutorials before proceeding and doing more scripting!

It's not working. It is enter into the go() . but the JSP is not invoking at any time.

The code is correct, the problem must be with your JSP name or context.
Change select var name to something else, this is a reserved word, some browsers may have trouble understanding it.
