I'm new to jquery but I'm lovin it so far. Can anyone tell me the best way to remove duplicates from a dropdown that looks like this:
<form name="myform"> <select name="mylist" id="mylist"> <option>Select an option</option> <option value="Rod">Rod</option> <option value="Rod">Rod</option> <option value="Line">Line</option> <option value="Rod">Rod</option> <option value="Reel">Reel</option> </select> </form> I can't change the the contents of the dropdown because they're written by a CMS so I'd like to at least make sure that there are no dupes in it. Also, I'd like to jump to a new href based on the option chosen. I'm using it to filter search results. Normally I'd use an onchange attached to the select but I know I can bind an event to the select in jquery, I'm just not sure how to then use the value selected to jump to my new url. Many thanks in advance Art
