To do this without the GO button.

delete the <input type> tag at the bottom

delete the current opening select tag and replace it with

<select tag, add onchange="eval(setit.options[setit.selectedIndex].value)">

I think this is how you do it....others may post correcting me.

The onchange event is what makes it go straight to the other link.

 <select tag, add onchange="eval(setit.options[setit.selectedIndex].value)">
<option....>.....</option>
</select>

etc.

Gene,

To do the drop down menu without the GO button.

Delete the <input type> (button) at the bottom of the code;
Add the following code to the opening <select>

onchange="eval(setit.options[setit.selectedIndex].value)"

which gives you:

<select add onchange="eval(setit.options[setit.selectedIndex].value)">

then add your <option> list (as in the demo from Steve Easton)
and close off with </select>
