Answer 1

This is a javascript question. Using jQuery, you would do it something like this:

$(document).ready(function($){
    $("select").on("change",function(){
        window.location.href = "http://example.com/"+$(this).val();
    });
});

Answer 2

Bind a change event handler to your select element and call the submit() method of the form when it is triggered.

Then have your server side form handler redirect to the page you want.

<form action="redirector">
    <select name="destination">
        <option value="1">Some page</option>
        <option value="2">Some other page</option>
    </select>
    <!-- Normal submit button for when the JS fails -->
    <input type="submit" value="Go">
</form>
<script>
document.querySelector('select').addEventListener('change', submitForm);
function submitForm(event) {
    event.target.form.submit();
}
</script>
