I know this has to be simple, but can't figure it out. I want to have a drop down menu/list that when a user selects an item and pushes the "Next" button, it send them to another page.
For example, have say 3 items on the list "One" "Two" and "Three"

If they select "One" on the list, then hit the next button, it'll send them to /one.htm
or if they select "Two" on the list, and hit the button, it'll send them ti /two.htm

Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Asa

Are you planning on handling the value of the drop down list using Javascript, or a server-side language like PHP/Perl/etc.?

Not sure. I have no idea what's needed. Which do you suggest? Sorry for the lack of knowledge, haha.

It doesn't really matter either way - it's just whatever you're more comfortable with. Server-side will be a safer bet as it will work even if users have JS disabled - but using JS will let you get it done faster(potentially). Whichever you like more, just search for '[language] handle dropdownlist', and '[language] redirect'.

Well, since I've already spend hours in php on the site I'm working on, might as well go with that. And it'll help since potential customers will be on iPhones, and other devices with no javascript. Thanks!
