Hi,
OK, this is somewhat hard for me, so any help would be great!

Here's what I need:

I want a drop down box, with two choice (ex: 1 & 2).
Then I have a form.
Now..
if the person chooses #1, so it should send the data to: www.myhost.com/cgi-bin/form1.pl

Else..
is he chooses #2, it should send the data to www.myhost.com/cgi-bin/form2.pl

Any ideas?

P.S. It doesn't have to be a drop down box. Anyhthing that works is great!

Thanks!

I would use two separate forms in this case. Collect data from one form, then run a script to determine which form to submit. You can send the data you collect to a hiiden input field.

code:

function submitForm() {
   if (document.forms["form1"].elements["selectOptions"].options[0].selected == true) {
      // send data to hidden input form1
      document.forms["form1"].submit();
      }
   else {
      // send data to hidden input form2
      document.forms["form2"].submit();
      }
   }
[/code]

code:<form
name="form1"
action="www.myhost.com/cgi-bin/form1.pl">
<select name="selectOptions">
<option>1
<option>2
</select>
<input type="button" onClick="javascript:submitForm()" value="Submit">
<input type="hidden" name="input1">
</form>

<form
name="form2"
action="www.myhost.com/cgi-bin/form2.pl">
<input type="hidden" name="input2">
</form>[/code]
