    Hi, I've just tried to validate my html from w3 http://validator.w3.org/ and it's come up with an error saying that i need to put something in the action="" for my jump menu. Anyone got any ideas in what i should do? My address is http://www.fcbs.co.uk for you to check.

    Kind Regards

    Well, you're using JavaScript to send the data, so you don't need the Action property. Just ignore it.

    Could you just do a javascript:null; kinda deal? so that it validates having an option but since its null it won't actually do anything?

    I don't see why it matters that you get that error anyway. You know it works, and I assume you're happy with it.

    I am happy with it, but if i don't have valid html, it might not work on all browsers or might not be good for SEO

    I can't see this error causing any problems on any browser or being adverse for SEO.
