What are the limitations of using links in a dropdown menu in PHP?

Using links in a dropdown menu in PHP can be limiting because it requires reloading the page every time a link is clicked, which can result in a slower user experience. To solve this issue, you can use JavaScript to handle the dropdown menu functionality without reloading the page.

<!-- HTML code for dropdown menu with JavaScript -->
<select onchange="window.location.href=this.value;">
  <option value="#">Select an option</option>
  <option value="page1.php">Page 1</option>
  <option value="page2.php">Page 2</option>
  <option value="page3.php">Page 3</option>
</select>
