How to use href links inside an option tag with JavaScript?
To use href links inside an option tag with JavaScript, we set the window.location property when we select an option.

<select name="formal" onchange="javascript:handleSelect(this)">
<option value="home">Home</option>
<option value="contact">Contact</option>
</select>
to add the select drop down.
Then we write
handleSelect = (elm) => {
window.location = elm.value + ".php";
};
to define the handleSelect function.
In it, we set window.location to the location we want to navigate to when the select option changes.
