Hello All,

lets say i have two html files in my project. lets call them 1.html and 2.html.

I have also got a combobox like so ..

HTML

<select>

         <option value="html1"> got to html 1 </option>
         <option value="html2"> go to html 2 </option>
</select>

I would like when either option 1 is selected to open up the 1.html file or when opition 2 is selected to go 2.html.

i have tried to this .. like below but its not working

HTML

<select>

         <option value="html1"  href="#/folder1/1"> > got to html 1 </option>
