This will generate the required URL pattern:
http://www.comics.com/04/05/page.htm
This will not submit the form however, so the destination page will not be
able to read any POST/GET form variables.
The call to the javascript can be placed in the form tag as an onSubmit
event, or on a button in the form as an onClick event.
<script type="text/javascript">
function ProcessForm(domain,page)
{
var formObject=document.forms['myform'];
var Select1Object=formObject.elements['select1'];
var Select1Object=formObject.elements['select2'];
var Select1Value=Select1Object.options[Select1Object.selectedIndex].value;
var Select2Value=Select2Object.options[Select2Object.selectedIndex].value;
if(Select1Value=='null')
{
return false;
}
if(Select2Value=='null')
{
return false;
}
window.location.href='http://'+domain'/'+Select1Value+'/'+Select2Value+'/'+p
age;
}
</script>
....
<form name="myform" action="#"
onSubmit="ProcessForm('www.comics.com','page.htm') ; return false;">
<select name="select1">
<option value="null">Select day</option>
<option value="01">1</option>
....
<option value="31">31</option>
</select>
<select name="select2">
<option value="null">Select month</option>
<option value="01">January</option>
....
<option value="12">December</option>
</select>
<input type="submit" value="Go">
<input type="button" value="Go"
onClick="ProcessForm('www.comics.com','page.htm'); return false;">
</form>

Do you just want to generate the above URL pattern, or do you want to submit
the form variables (day, month) as well?
