How To Create Custom Select Menus with link to URL

I have this code: https://www.w3schools.com/howto/howto_custom_select.asp
I just want to add a different URL to each option so it gets opened when clicked.
I've tried so many ways and none of them works. I don't understand Javascript and I think the options I've tried may be in conflict with this ones.
Can anyone help with this issue?
Thank you so much for your time and help.

You have to add value and onchange to option for example:
<select onchange="window.location=this.value">
<option value="http://www.google.com">Google</option>
<option value="http://www.yahoo.com">Yahoo</option>
<option value="http://www.bing.com">Bing</option>
</select>

Try "onclick" instead of "value".
<option onclick="window.location='http://www.google.com'">Google</option>

Set dropdown value in a Javascript bookmark, my code works with textfields only

At work we had a handy coworker who made a bookmark that auto-filled our ID in textfields on a webpage using javascript that worked wonders. However my company changed the textfields to a dropdown and it no longer works. I've been digging around for a while and I can't seem to find a solution that works. I have very little experience with javascript though. This is what the code was for the textfields:
javascript:{document.getElementById('ID').value=%12345%22;document.getElementById('vendor').value=%2212345%22;void(0)}
I'm guessing the problematic part is the ".value=%" part? Do I need to put something else for a dropdown list?

It could be due to %12345%22 must be between quotations.
javascript:{document.getElementById('ID').value='%12347%22';}
<select id="ID">
<option value="%12346%22">Masoud</option>
<option value="%12347%22">Yoleaux</option>
<option value="%12348%22">Test1</option>
<option value="%12349%22">Test2</option>
</select>
If it is not your actual problem please provide more information.

How to implement input search for dropdown values

Below is the example I implemented. I want when a user gives input it should match the result and should be selected after typing. Can this implemented with HTML or jQuery or Javascript? Thanks in advance.
<select id="funsports" name="funsports">
<option value="">sports</option>
<option value="football">grapes</option>
<option value="tennis">mango</option>
</select>

To achieve what you want, you can use a jquery plugin like Select2
Look at the demos to be sure it has what you're looking for

change value of dropdown menu <select>

If I say have the following element, how do I change the selected value in it dynamically from jquery? (I know there are alot of threads of this subject here and I have tried them but I just coudn't get it to work)
<div class="styledDropDown">
<form name="viewBeds" method="post" action="formhandler.cgi">
<select name="title" onchange="javascript:showHideBeds();">
<option selected value="All">All</option>
<option value="Hannes">Hannes</option>
</select>
</form>
</div>
I want to switch between these values so that the selected value becomes "Hannes" instead of "All".
How is this done easiest?
Trid the following without success
function showHideBeds(){
$('.styledDropDown').val('Hannes');
}
Hope you understood the question =)

You need to set the .val() for the select element, $('.styledDropDown') is a div
This will do
$('.styledDropDown select').val('Hannes');
Demo: Fiddle

You can do
$("select[name='title'][value='Hannes']").attr("selected", "selected");

You can change the current value with
$('#setSelectedOne').click(function(){
$("#title option[value='Hannes']").attr('selected',true);
});
But I do not understand why you would do that with Javascript as the browser has its own do deal with Select boxes...

How to set the selected field of combo box within the view

I have two options in a combo box.
<select id="selLang">
<option value="/en" >english</option>
<option value="/fr" >french</option>
</select>
When i choose the second option the page is refreshed and the selected option isn't displayed in the top of the combo box (i mean, as the selected item.)
I want to set the selected option to be the selected option which is in the top of the combo box- within the view.
so my question is just how can i do it? or maybe i have to create a cookie? and if so -how do i do t-h-a-t?
Perhaps it's a silly question, but i'm quite new in this region.
Thanks in advance!

you need to set the selected attribute of the option. you can do it as follows:
<select id="selLang">
<option value="en" >english</option>
<option value="fr" selected="selected" >french</option>
</select>
Hope this is what you wanted..

I'd recommend you taking a look at the ASP.NET MVC localization guide which will provide you with some nice ideas about how to implement this.

First, why when you choose the second option, the page is refreshed. Do you have any JavaScript function in action to post your form.
I ask that, because HTML <select> tag's change won't initiate an HTTP Post request. So, please update an explanation for that.
However, let's go back to your question. You can try this:
<select id='selLang' name='selLang'>
<option value="/en" >english</option>
<option value="/fr" >french</option>
</select>
This will cause the <select> tag to become a successful control during a POST request. This means that you can use this to create a script like:
$(function(){
$('#selLang').val('#HttpContext.Request["selLang"]');
});
