Drop down list on submit

I need some help with this. All I want is a simple drop down that you select an option and then hit Download. Formatted like this:

<select>
    <option value="http://file/1234">file 1</option>
    <option value="http://file/1234">file 2</option>
</select>

<button type="button">Download</button>

This isn't pulling or getting inserted to a database, just a simple select an option and press download. I could get it to work easily enough having it download on change, but that isn't how I need it to work.

Any help would be appreciated!

 <form><select name="select" onchange="window.location.href= this.form.select.options[this.form.select.selectedIndex].value">
    <option value="http://FILE">FILE1</option>
    <option value="http://FILE">FILE2</option>
    <option value="http://FILE">FILE3</option>

This should work

​$('button').click(function(){
  window.location = $('select').val();
});​
