Drop Down Box

I would like to have a drop down box where when the user selects one of the
choices, it automatically loads another page. I want this to be a one stop
select and go. No submit or OK button. Just drop down, select the page and
off it loads. Is this possible with JS?

Thanks in Advance

Yes, but a poor UI implementation, what if the user makes a mistake?

< select... onchange="locat ion=this[this.selectedIn dex].value">
<option value="index.ht ml">home</option>

Or what if I want to, or even have to, use my keyboard or mouse wheel to
scroll through the list?

Replace ".invalid" with ".uk" to reply by e-mail.

Point taken, I scrapped the idea. However, the code that David pointed to
was really useful.

Thanks!

Hi There! I have a Server-side Drop-down box in ASP.NET (VB) page. What do I do to widen the Drop down box's Pull-Down list's width? I'm not talking about the Drop-down box's width but the box that appear when user clicks the drop-down arrow button. Because items in the Drop down list are a little long, user can't see the full thing when they pull down the items from the drop down list.
