That is a select element with a JavaScript onchange event (the onchange event is also an attribute in this case). If you do not want the redirect when changing the select element's value then simply do not include the onchange event.

The best way to get the select element to work in normal situations is to use the code the following way...

Code: Select all

<form action="" method="post">
<select name="this_appears_to_php">
<option value="value1">place1</option>
<option value="value2">place2</option>
<option value="value3">place3</option>
</select>
<input type="submit" value="press this button to submit the form" />
</form>

When you submit the form to PHP you can capture it the following way...

Code: Select all

<?php
if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD']=='GET')
{
//normal requests here
}
else if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD']=='POST')
{
if (isset($_POST['this_appears_to_php'])) {echo 'The value of your choice was '.$_POST['this_appears_to_php'].'.';}
}
?>
