onchange redirect

I have a <select id=aid >
<option=1>US</option>
<option=2>UK</option>
</select> element in my abs.aspx page.

I want to redirect the user onchange of selectbox to the same page and pass a parameter cid which will be the selected value.

i.e if user selects UK it should redirect to abs.aspx?cid=2

Pls help

The following Javascript implementation should work (NOTE: you have a syntax error on your option tags, which is corrected below):

<script>
            function cboChange(obj)
            {
                  window.location.href = 'http://example.com/foo.aspx?cid=' + obj.options[obj.selectedIndex].value;
            }
</script>

<select id="aid" onchange="cboChange(this);" >
      <option value="1">US</option>
      <option value="2">UK</option>
</select>

ok, change the line with window.location.href to:

parent.window.location.href = 'http://example.com/foo.aspx?cid=' + obj.options[obj.selectedIndex].value;

This might work as well. Replace 'ddlName' with the name of your Drop Down List control.

Response.Write("<script>window.open(abs.aspx?cid=" & ddlName.SelectedValue & "');</script>")

just curious, any particular reason for a grade B?
