You can remove the button?

It took me a bit of digging, but it was worth it, because I agree 100%, having a "go" button makes for some horrible usability.

I removed all the code for my button, since we're getting rid of it anyway, and added this in at the end instead.

$select.change( function () {
  $('select option:selected').each( function() {
    window.location = $select.val();
    })
});

I'm still learning too, but from what I understand, what this does is looks for a change to happen to my select menu. When a change does happen, it runs a function.

The only thing here I'm not sure about if is .each is the right thing to use. It's going to grab the value of each selected option, and then use that to assign the window location... I figure this is fine, since I can only have one selected item at a time anyway.
