Select without submit?

This

        
              <script language="JavaScript">
function selectPerlVersion(element) {
  if (element.value.substring(0,1) == '/') {
    location.href = element.value;
  }
}
</script>
            <div class="side_panel tools_panel">
              <p>Perl version</p>
              <form id="perl_version" name="perl_version">
<select name="version-chooser" onChange="selectPerlVersion(this)">
  <option selected>Select...
  <option>Perl 5 version 10
    <option value="/index.html">&nbsp;&nbsp;&bull;&nbsp;Perl 5.10.0
  <option>

  <option>Perl 5 version 8
    <option value="/5.8.9/index.html">&nbsp;&nbsp;&bull;&nbsp;Perl 5.8

</select>
</form>
            </div>

Should have been

<div class="side_panel tools_panel">
<p>Perl version</p>.
  Perl 5 version 10<p>
    <a href="/index.html"> Perl 5.10.0
  
</p><p>
  
    <a href="/5.8.9/index.html"> Perl 5.8.9 </a><br />
    <a href="/5.8.8/index.html"> Perl 5.8.8 </a><br />
    <a href="/5.8.7/index.html"> Perl 5.8.7 </a></p>
</div>

Never reinvent hyperlinks with form+javascript.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.


There's more than one way to do things
