RE: JavaScript Submit Form -- WEB400

Justin,

You have to have something in your form that executes the JavaScript.  Try
adding "onClick=submitForm()" to your option tags.  That may not work but
there should be something similar.

I'd like to say though, that as an end user and fellow web designer, this
could be a really annoying feature since it is not typically expected that
selecting a drop down option will take you someplace else.  Just a thought.
