How to do Page Redirection based on two drop down menu selections?

I want to create a form from my website where the user has two dropdown boxes with values say body height and type of build. Depending on their selection, they would be directed to a page with information about their specific/selected build.

To have an idea of what I want to create, here is the form i wish to display.. the use if for a BMX bike guide

function goToPage() { var type = document.getElementById("type").value; var height = document.getElementById("height").value; if(type !== 0 && height !== 0) { window.location = "http://www.maltabmx.com/About.html?jtype=" + 1 + "&height=" + 1; 
        window.location = "http://www.maltabmx.com/Footage.html?jtype=" + 
        1 + "&height=" + 
        2;

        window.location = "http://www.maltabmx.com?jtype=" + 
        1 + "&height=" + 
        3;

        window.location = "http://www.maltabmx.com/About.html?jtype=" + 
        1 + "&height=" + 
        4;

        window.location = "http://www.maltabmx.com/Footage.html?jtype=" + 
        1 + "&height=" + 
        5;

        window.location = "http://www.maltabmx.com?jtype=" + 
        1 + "&height=" + 
        6;   }  } 

<form>  <p> Type of Terrain: </p>

Select Street/Park Dirt Racing 

<p>Body Height</p>
<select id="height">
<option value="0" id="Select">Select</option>
<option value="1" id="5ft">4ft</option>
<option value="2" id="5.5ft">4.25ft</option>
<option value="3" id="5.5ft">4.50ft</option>
<option value="4" id="6ft">4.75ft</option>
<option value="5" id="5ft">5ft</option>
<option value="6" id="5.5ft">5.25ft</option>
<option value="7" id="6ft">5.50ft</option>    <option value="8" id="5ft">5.75ft</option>
<option value="9" id="5.5ft">6ft</option>
<option value="10" id="6ft">6.25ft</option>
</select>

<br /><br />

<input  onclick="goToPage();"  type="button" value="Submit" />

<html>
 <head>

  $(document).ready(function() {

      $('#submit').click(function(){ 

      var type= $("#type").val();
      var height = $("#height").val();

      window.location.href = 'http://www.someweb.com/page.php?type='+type+'&&height='+height;

    });

 });

  </head>
  <body>

 <form>
 <p> Type of Terrain: </p>

  <select id="type">
    <option value="1" id="Street">Street</option>
    <option value="2" id="Dirt">Dirt</option>
    <option value="3" id="Park">Park</option>
    <option value="4" id="Racing">Racing</option>
    </select>

    <p>Body Height</p>
    <select id="Height">
    <option value="1" id="5ft">5ft</option>
    <option value="2" id="5.5ft">5.5ft</option>
    <option value="3" id="6ft">6ft</option>

    </select>

    <br /><br />

    <input id="submit" type="submit" value="Submit" />

    </form>
  </body>
</html>

So, i changed the code above. Let me know if you still hve some questions.

PS: normally to redirect or pass values to other pages you would want to use the jquery $.post, $.get or $.ajax methods instead of windows.location.href.

Have a look here http://net.tutsplus.com/tutorials/javascript-ajax/5-ways-to-make-ajax-calls-with-jquery/
