Dropdown menu with hyperlinks to different URLs

[erikaj4418844]

How do I create a dropdown menu with hyperlinks to several different URLs?

A drop-down menu can only contain plain-text. However, a script can be used to launch the selected text in the browser.

To do so, enter the following code as the field's custom validation script:

app.launchURL(event.value);

Make sure to tick the option to commit the selected value immediately, under the field's Properties, Options tab.

Hi,

Thanks for the reply.

I have the part you have listed, but I need assistance with making sure that when I click on the plain text within the dropdown that only one URL will open and that URL matches the plain text within the dropdown. For example, when people click on Spring 2015 in the dropdown it needs to take them to http://econnect.dcccd.edu/econnect/Schedule/spring.2015/index.html only.

I do not want all URLs to open; just the URL that connects to the specific semester selected. I think I need Custom Keystroke Script, maybe?

Thanks for any additional assistance you can provide.

The code I provided does that, but it requires that you use the URL as the display item. If you have a "default" value or want the display and export values to be different it would require a more complex script.

That is exactly what I want: the display and export values to be different.
