I have a form named FORM and a SELECT within the form (i.e. a drop-down menu) named SELECT. In the INPUT line I have type="button" language="JavaScript" and onClick="self.location=document.form.select.value"

I want to set self.location equal to the value of the select menu item. (I know the self.location works because if I hardcode a value it works when I click the input button)

Problem: The value of document.form.select.value is always comming back as null.

What am I doing wrong??

Thanks!

onClick="alert('the value is:' + document.form.select.value)"

like:

choice 1
choice 2
choice 3
