    Hello!

    I have a combobox and a Javascript as follow:

    <select onchange="document.location = this.value;">
    <option value="/a">a</option>
    <option value="/b">b</option>
    <option value="/c">c</option>
    </select>

    It seems that Google's bot is following that JS links and it is impossible with this code to add a rel="nofollow" attribute-value.

    What do you guys suggest me to avoid Google and other bots follow the links contained in the combobox?

    Thank you!
