I am trying to use an HTML Select form component to select & go to a URL.
I'm using the attached jQuery to accomplish this. The selection opens a new
window to the intended URL but the submit function doesn't post the hidden
name/value pairs. I suspect my syntax is a bit in conflict since the submit
function isn't working as expected. When I pull the window.location nothing
happens.
After googling "jquery select post" and related combinations, I haven't
solved this one yet so thought I'd check here since CF programmers
frequently use jQuery.
Thanks in advance.
<script>
$(function(){
$('##dynamic_select').bind('change', function(){
var url = $(this).val();
if(url){
window.location = url;
$("##myForm")
.attr("action", url)
.attr("target", "_blank")
.submit(function(){return false;});
}
return false;
});
});
</script>
<form method="post" action="##" id="myForm" name="myForm">
<input type="hidden" name="formTest" value="TEST" />
<select id="dynamic_select">
<option value="" selected="selected">Navigate too ...</option>
<option value="/index.cfm?action=test.pageLib">Library</option>
<option value="/index.cfm?action=test.pageSchool">School</option>
<option value="/index.cfm?action=test.pageHist">History</option>
</select>
</form>
