I'm sure this shouldn't be so hard!

I've been struggling with facebook's javascript: I need to redirect to a URL based on the value in a select drop down menu, something like:

<form name=cityselect>

    <select name=menu onChange=location=document.cityselect.menu.options[document.cityselect.menu.selectedIndex].value; value=GO>

        <option value=http://www.leeds.html>Leeds</option>

        <option value=http://www.manchester.html>Manchester</option>

    </select>

</form>

Can anybody help me get this working? I've had good look though the facebook dev forum and docs but either don't understand what needed or can't find the answer!

Try {} this.options also your urls are mistyped. http://www.leeds.html should be http://www.leeds.com , not sure if that is related but just wanted to point that out just in case.

<form name=cityselect>

    <select name=menu onChange=window.document.location.href=this.options[this.selectedIndex].value; value=GO>

        <option selected=selected>Select One</option>

        <option value=http://www.leeds.com>Leeds</option>

        <option value=http://www.manchester.com>Manchester</option>

    </select>

</form>

Parent Frame:

<form name=cityselect>

    <select name=menu onChange=top.location.href=this.options[this.selectedIndex].value; value=GO>

        <option selected=selected>Select One</option>

        <option value=http://www.leeds.com>Leeds</option>

        <option value=http://www.manchester.com>Manchester</option>

    </select>

</form>
