Use the onChange event on the select tag to
1) Change the action attribute of the form to point at the current page instead of the final processing page

formname.action="thispage.asp";

2) submit the form

form.submit();

<script language=&quot;JavaScript&quot;>
<!--
function goto() {
document.all.catg.cat.action=&quot;criarpoll.asp?id=<%= cat('idcat') %>&quot;;
}
//-->
</script>

<form name=&quot;catg&quot; method=&quot;POST&quot; action=&quot;criada.asp&quot;>

<input name=&quot;status&quot; type=&quot;hidden&quot; value=&quot;0&quot;>

<p> Categorias<br>
<select name=&quot;cat&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;>
<%
While NOT cat.EOF
%>
<option value=&quot;<%=cat(&quot;IdCat&quot%>&quot; onChange=&quot;goto()&quot;><%=cat(&quot;Categoria&quot%></option>
<%
cat.MoveNext()
Wend
%>
</select>

Place the onChange inside your select tag instead of your option tag, the select is the container that fires the events, the options are merely list items.
