Dynamic url through select - javascript

[stevedr]

Hi there,
I got a select-field (FldSelectInfo) in a html-form (FrmInfoSelect) and want to open another webpage (url) according to the item I select in this field.
I wrote something like
[JS]
var selected = $('#FldSelectInfo').serialize();
$('#frmInfoSelect').submit(function(event) {
$('#showData').show();
$('#showData').html('Loading data, please wait...');
var disp = $.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: selected + '.php',
data: $('#frmInfoSelect').serialize(),
async: false
}
).responseText;
$('#selectData').hide();
$('#showData').show().html(disp);
return false;
});
[/JS]
whereas an item looks like

<option value='mynewpage'>Show new page</option>

For the moment, I got redirected to FldSelectInfo=mynewpage.php instead of mynewpage.php.
Can anyone figure out what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks a lot!

Sincerely,
Steve

sorry, dacht mijn bericht in het Engels te schrijven om meer reactie te krijgen...
Intussen heb ik, na wat trial & error, de oplossing gevonden:
[JS]var selected = $('#FldSelectInfo').val();[/JS]
in plaats van
[JS]var selected = $('#FldSelectInfo').serialize();[/JS]
deed wat het moest doen.
Toch bedankt voor de reactie!
Mvg,
Steve
