You can associate an onchange event on the city drop down and redirect the user accordingly, on the basis of the selected city

how to link each city to a hyperink, so that when the city is selected it goes to a specific link (ofcourse without a submit or go button) if you could help with the complete code alongwith the above ! Thanks

$data here is just an array, making database connection, fetching from the database and storing it in array depends upon how you write the underneath code.

Thanks for the example, it is working fine. I need to write a similar code but with jsp instead of php. The problem is, the city names are to be fetched from the database and the depending upon the state selected it should flow in dropdown.
also, i have a text field for the state entry and even when i enter a partial city name the cities should flow automatically.
can you help?

THANK YOU!! I found a few other examples first and could not get what I needed (they were all using country as well).

This worked like a charm!

I am so sorry to having forget that we still live with brainless browsers like IE. In the above example I have missed is the value attribute in the option tag.

Correcting the code, should reflect in few mins. If you don’t see clear the cache.

Hope that works !

Got them working ok but just noticed they are not working in IE. Nothing really seems to I guess. Is there something I should do to make these cross browser capable? Thanks for the great article btw.

I suppose I’m a little confused. How can I easily give each city a unique option value so on select they actually link somewhere. Sorry for such a simple question. Sorry to make you dumb it down.

Hi d teo,

Yes you can use the same code for 2 or more drop downs. All you have to do is keep different name and ids of the select boxes and corresponding names in the PHP + JS script.

Hope that helps !

Thanks
