Hi Guys

i have this drop down that is working perfect on desktop browsers that when you select the drop down it will redirect you to the new page filtered results but on mobile devices it just dosnt work any ideas why?

                        <form>
                        <select name="filter" id="filter" onChange="window.document.location.href=this.options[this.selectedIndex].value;" value="GO">
                                <option value="">SEARCH BY CATEGORY</option>
                                <option value="news.php">All News</option>
                                <option value="news.php?events=1">Events</option>
                                <option value="news.php?news=1">News</option>
                                <option value="news.php?community=1">Community</option>
                            </select>
                          </form>

Thanks

Hi Craig,

What about using JQuery instead? 

<html>
  <head>
  </head>
  <body>
    <form>
      <h1>Redirect script</h1>
      <select id="goTo" name="goTo" >
        <option value="" >-- Please Select--</option>
        <option value="http://google.com" >Google</option>
      </select>
    </form>
  </body>
    <script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript">
      $( document ).ready(function() {
        $( "#goTo" ).change(function() {
          var address = $(this).val();
          window.location.replace(address);
        });
      });
    </script>
</html>

Thanks!

Hi Greg

that dosnt work either, when i do that the desktop stops working and when you select an option in the drop down it just wont do anything.

the only one that works is the current code i have in the code i first posted but that just wont work with mobiles or tablets, but works perfect with desktop browsers, the site is responsive.

Thanks

I'm guessing there is a JS error somewhere that only happens on the mobile version of the site. 

Have you got a link I can look at that demonstrates the error?

Cheers,

Greg
