Onchange open URL via select - jQuery

Question

What would be the best way to attach an event so on change of a select option a URL. Store the href in an attr and grab it on change?

Answer 1

I believe the simplest way to redefine a location inside select tab is as follows:

<select onchange="location = this.value;">
     <option value="https://www.google.com/">Home</option>
     <option value="https://www.bing.com">Contact</option>
     <option value="mypets.php">Sitemap</option>
</select>

Answer 2

Super easy way is as following. No need to create a function.

<select onchange="window.location = this.options[this.selectedIndex].value">
    <option value="">Switch Language</option>
    <option value="{{ url('/en') }}">English</option>
    <option value="{{ url('/ps') }}">پښتو</option>
    <option value="{{ url('/fa') }}">دری</option>
</select>

Answer 3

Here's how i'd do it

<select id="urlSelect" onchange="window.location = jQuery('#urlSelect option:selected').val();">
 <option value="http://www.yadayadayada.com">Great Site</option>
 <option value="http://www.stackoverflow.com">Better Site</option>
</select>

Answer 4

<select name="xx" class="xxx" onchange="_name(this.options[this.selectedIndex].value,this.options[this.selectedIndex].getAttribute('rel'))">
  <option value="x" rel="xy">aa</option>
  <option value="xxx" rel="xyy">bb</option>
</select>


//for javascript
function _name(value,rel) {
alert(value+"-"+rel);
}

Try this code its working perfect

<script>
$(function() {

    $("#submit").hide();

    $("#page-changer select").change(function() {
        window.location = $("#page-changer select option:selected").val();
    })

});

Answer 6

Sorry, but there's to much coding going on here ...

I'll give the simplest one to you for free. I invented it back in 2005, although the javascript source now says it was their staff who came up with it - more than a year later!

Anyway, here it is, no javascript !!!

<!-- Paste this code into the BODY section of your HTML document  -->
<select size="1" name="jumpit" onchange="document.location.href=this.value"> 
<option selected value="">Make a Selection</option>
<option value="http://www.javascriptsource.com/">The JavaScript Source</option>
<option value="http://www.javascript.com">JavaScript.com</option>
<option value="http://www.webdeveloper.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=3">JavaScript Forums</option>
<option value="http://www.scriptsearch.com/">Script Search</option>
<option value="http://www.webreference.com/programming/javascript/diaries/">The JavaScript Diaries</option>
</select> 

Just type in any URL you like, or a relative URL (to the pages location on server), it will always work.
