Answer 1

you should add an "onchange" event to the input field

<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
function onChangeExample(){
window.location = "http://www.google.com/"
}
//-->
</script>

<input type="text"  id="example" onchange="onChangeExample()">

Answer 2

HTML code:

<html>
<body>
    <script>
    function openAnotherWin(combo) {
        var v = combo.value;
        window.open(v);
    }
    </script>
    <select name="sites" onchange="openAnotherWin(this)">
        <option value="">Select one site...</option>
        <option value="http://www.google.com"&gt;Google&lt;/option&gt;
        <option value="http://www.microsoft.com"&gt;Microsoft&lt;/option&gt;
    </select>
</body>
</html>
