I have this form below which is perfect for my needs with dependent fields. What I would like to do is when someone selects one of the subcategories (ie: Beddings), they would then be transferred to a url (ex: www.beddings.com). But this is far beyond my understanding!
Any help would be appreciated!
Here is a demo of this form: http://www.tamilcodes.com/demopages/jsdropdownlist.html
