Yup, I see what you mean. Can you do it server side, and not be
dependent on js at all?
<form method="post" action="<?php_self?>"
<fieldset>
<legend>Choose a Film</legend>
<label for="film">Title: </label>
<select name="film" id="film" onchange="this.form.submit();">
<option value="#"></option>
<option value="#">Fighting the Taliban</option>
<option value="#">Meeting the Taliban</option>
<option value="php/afghan.php">Afghan Ladies' Driving School</option>
</select>
<input type="submit" "value="GO" />
</fieldset>
</form>
This will work for js browsers and non-jsbrowsers. Just put a little
php at the top looking for what the script submitted, and redirect from
there.
