 <p>If you don't want the url to put it on option's value, i'll give u example :</p> <pre><code>&lt;select class="abc"&gt; &lt;option value="0" href="hello"&gt;Hell&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option value="1" href="dello"&gt;Dell&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option value="2" href="cello"&gt;Cell&lt;/option&gt; &lt;/select&gt; $("select").bind('change',function(){ alert($(':selected',this).attr('href')); }) </code></pre>
