Changing form action with a dropdown

[kkroo]

I have a form, and i would like the user to be able to submit it to different servers by selecting a option from a <select> menu and it would change the value of the action page in <form> without reloading the page

so i think it would be something like this

<form action=javascript:action; >

Thanks in advance!

Something like the below select menu should do it:

<select size="1" onChange="this.form.action=this.options[this.selectedIndex].value;">
<option value="default.php">Select action</option>
<option value="bob.php">Bob</option>
<option value="joe.php">Joe</option>
</select>

I am trying to get the action to submit to a different web page based upon which item they select in the drop down list. Here is what I have:

<form id="ClassSearch" name="ClassSearch" method="get" action=javascript:action>
<p>
<label for="GroupId"><strong>Center:</strong></label>
<select name="GroupId" id="GroupId" onChange="this.form.action=this.options[this.selectedIndex].value;">
<option value="http://www.nhconn.com/LOCALWEB/catalog/CourseCatalog.aspx">Bloomfield, CT</option><option value="http://www.nhconn.com/LOCALWEB/catalog/CourseCatalog.aspx">Hartford, CT</option>

It works fine for me! I'm not sure what the issue is. When you select an item, and then press submit, it seems to work fine.
