Redirecting with a form

buchannon · 11-10-2004, 01:17 PM

I am trying to put a dropdown menu to let the user select where they want to go, and then click on the button to go there. I think I know why this isn't working, but I can't figure out how to do it.

Quote:

<html><head><body>
<%
dim unclink
unclink=request.querystring("unclink")
%>
<form mehtod="get" action=" <% response.write(unclink) %>" class="menu">
<select title="UNC Directory" name="unclink" id="unclink" style="width:150px" class="layoutMenu">

<option value="http://www.unco.edu/dss/uncdirectory3.asp" selected> -UNC LINKS-</potion>
<option value="http://www.unco.edu/" >UNC HOME</option>
-->
</select>
<input type="submit" value="Submit">

method is spelled wrong in your code

That code is just an idea I had, it won't work even when fully functional... How can I redirect a user from a drop down menu? For instance, http://webmonkey.wired.com/webmonkey.../builders.html does it.

wow that was a lot easier than I thought it would be:

html file:

Quote:

<form method="post" action="redirect.asp" class="menu">
<select title="UNC Directory" name="unclink" id="unclink" style="width:150px" class="layoutMenu">

<option value="" selected> -UNC LINKS-</option>
<option value="http://www.unco.edu/" >UNC HOME</option>
-->
</select>
<input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>

then the redirect.asp file:

Quote:

<%
dim unclink
unclink=request.form("unclink")
if unclink="" then unclink="http://www.unco.edu/"
response.redirect unclink
%>
