You need Javascript to make links out of the select tag using the <option> tags.



<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
function dropdown(mySel)
{
var myWin, myVal;
myVal = mySel.options[mySel.selectedIndex].value;
if(myVal)
{
if(mySel.form.target)myWin = parent[mySel.form.target];
else myWin = window;
if (! myWin) return true;
myWin.location = myVal;
}
return false;
}
//-->
</script>

Put the above code in your <head> tag.

Then put this in the <form> tag:



<form action="../cgi-bin/redirect.pl"
method=post onSubmit="return dropdown(this.search)">


And in the <select> tag, type this:



<select name="search">


I hope this helps.
