<select name="choice" size="1" onchange="window.open(this.options[this.selectedIndex].value)" >

edit: removed all, Scott wrotes same as I, again! :) if need to reset selection:

<select name="choice" size="1" onchange="if (this.selectedIndex != 0) window.open(this.value); return this.selectedIndex = 0" >

I mean if You have:<option value="#">Select location</option><option value="http://www.fi/">Mother knows everything</option><option value="http://www.ru/">Russia on the Net</option>etc . select will be reseted to Select location option (o) after each changeUse function,Javascript to head part of Your document:

<script type="text/javascript"><!--function Open(obj){if (obj.selectedIndex != 0) window.open(obj.value);obj.selectedIndex = 0;}//--></script>

HTML:<select onchange="Open(this)">
