Ok, so first of all inside your function configureDropDownLists for each variable you need to add a value 'Select' for eg.
var goa = ['Select','GOA ASF', 'Goa LPG Plant'];
what this statement will do is by default the value in your ddl2 will be set to 'Select'
Secondly replace your ddl2 select tag with
<select id="ddl2" onchange ="openpage()">
Now inside your this 'openpage' function create a JSON object which links each ddl2 value to a corresponding webpage
var newpage = {"list":[
{"state": "GOA ASF", "page" : "webpagelink"},
{"state": "GOA LPG PLANT", "page" : "webpagelink"},
and so on for all the values
]};
also inside this function perform this task
x =document.getElementById("ddl2");
var state =x.options[x.selectedIndex].value;
if( state != 'select')
{
loop through all the values in the Json pbject and compare them with state, if a match occurs then do the following//
window.open(newpage.list[i].page);
}
here 'i' is the index where the match occurs. Hope this should help you out
