Calling javascript function from dropdownlist

Question

Is it possible to call a JS function when a specific a item is selected from dropdownlist?

Answer 1

HTML:

<select id="menu" name="menu">
    <option value="something">Click here</option>
    <option value="nothing">Not this</option>
</select>

JS:

document.getElementById('menu').onchange = function() {
    if (this.options[this.selectedIndex].value === 'something') {
        // Do something
    }
};

Change "something" to whatever value you want.

Answer 2

Another solution would be:

HTML & JS:

<select id="menu" name="menu" onClick="eval(this.value);">
    <option value="func1();">Click here</option>
    <option value="func2();">Not this</option>
</select>

you can change 'onClick' with 'onChange' if you want.

i borrowed some code from J-P ;-)
