Good spotting. I missed that.

[Kevin Drzycimski]

yes there is =D but the whole function could be written better, with regard to DRY

[Viorel]

Since setting of href does not necessary stop the scripts and jump to new address, I think that else is required. But the code can be probably replaced with a single line like this:

window.location.href = "...&consultar=" + accion;

Obviously a genetic algorithm should be used to evolve the URL, why can't some programmers figure that out? >_>

We love copy and paste.

I think: function GoPage(accion) { if (accion == "G") { consultar_val = G; } else { consultar_val = C; } window.location.href = 'resultadointerfaz.asp?vyear='+document.getElementById('Select2').value+'&vmes='+document.getElementById('Select1').value+'&tipo='+document.getElementById('tipo').value+'&consultar='+consultar_val; }

Controls' names Select1 and Select2 are another horror.

If action is, for example, 'X', your function works differently to the original

Or, simpler:

function GoPage(accion)
{
window.location.href =
'resultadointerfaz.asp?vyear=' +
document.getElementById('Select2').value +
'&vmes=' +
document.getElementById('Select1').value +
'&tipo=' +
document.getElementById('tipo').value +
'&consultar=' +
(accion == 'G' ? 'G' : 'C');
}

I wanted to use the ternary operator there, too; then I thought of the future case of adding a third "accion" and decided to leave an obvious ability to add an "else if" condition at the top.
