write link from selection

[quickcur]

Hi, I have a page with the following code.

<input type=button value="Show"
onclick="location.href='my.do?para=XXXX">
....
<form>
....
</form>

<select name="myselect">
<option value=1>1
<option vlaue=2>2
<option value=3>3
....
</select>

When use click the Show button, I would like to replace the XXX by the
selected number from the selection "myselect". Since there is a form
between <intput button> and the selection, I can not use form for the
Show button.

How can I write the onclick="location.href='my.do?para=XXXX?

Thanks,

qq

<input type="button" value="Show"
onclick="if (parameter){location.href='my.do?para='+parameter}
else {alert('Please choose a Select Item')}">

<select name="selectList"
onchange="var parameter = this.value;
alert('The author of this website needs to read' +
'FAQs and learn from them')
">
<option value=1>1
<option vlaue=2>2
<option value=3>3
.....
</select>

Naturally, un-tested.

Is "parameter" a reserved word?
