title: Redirecting from ASP.NET Dropdown
body: <p>What's the best method for handling a situation where you have an ASP.Net Dropdownlist that is used to link to another URL</p>
  
  <p><em>edited for clarity</em></p>
  
  <p>Here's the basic scenario:</p>
  
  <p>Dropdownlist with 5 cities bound to it</p>
  
  <p>Selecting one of the cities should send me to a URL based on the city</p>
  
  <p>Right now I am posting back using the "OnSelectedIndexChanged" event then handling the event and redirecting to the appropriate page.</p>
  
  <p>However this is causing 2 hits to the server per city selected, 1 to handle the postback and redirect, then another to render the actual page.</p>
  
  <p>Is using custom javascript to construct a URL my best option?</p>
