Link State List Drop Down HTML to a specific page

Question

I have added a drop down state list to my home page, which uses wordpress/elemntor.

When an item is selected from the dropdown list I would like to redirect the user to another URL. For example, when Georgia is selected I would like to redirect to this URL: https://www.everlastingopportunities.com/georgia/

How do I make the page go to the above URL when Georgia selected in drop down?

<select>
 <option value="AL">Alabama</option>
 <option value="AK">Alaska</option>
 <option value="AZ">Arizona</option>
 <option value="AR">Arkansas</option>
 <option value="CA">California</option>
 <option value="CO">Colorado</option>
 <option value="CT">Connecticut</option>
 <option value="DE">Delaware</option>
 <option value="DC">District Of Columbia</option>
 <option value="FL">Florida</option>
 <option value="GA">Georgia</option>
 <option value="HI">Hawaii</option>
    <!-- ... list continues ... -->
</select>

Answer 2

You can easy do it with jQuery

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<select id="selectCountry">
 <option value="AL">Alabama</option>
 <option value="AK">Alaska</option>
    <!-- ... list continues ... -->
</select>

<script type="text/javascript">
$( document ).ready(function() {
  $("#selectCountry").change(function(){
    window.location.href = "https://www.everlastingopportunities.com/" + $("#selectCountry > option:selected").text() + "/";
  });
});
</script>

Answer 3

You can achieve it by passing the selected option to the javascript function and using it to redirect to the new url.

Ideal is to add a blank option on top, so that the person who wants Alabama as option makes a choice once.

I have made the script based on visible name as you showed in the question.

function my_function(event) {
  var options = event.target.options;
  var selected = options[options.selectedIndex].text;
  window.location.href = 'https://www.everlastingopportunities.com/' + selected + '/';
}

<select onchange="my_function(event)">
 <option value="">---</option>
 <option value="AL">Alabama</option>
 <option value="AK">Alaska</option>
 <option value="AZ">Arizona</option>
 <option value="AR">Arkansas</option>
 <option value="CA">California</option>
 <option value="CO">Colorado</option>
 <option value="CT">Connecticut</option>
 <option value="DE">Delaware</option>
 <option value="DC">District Of Columbia</option>
 <option value="FL">Florida</option>
 <option value="GA">Georgia</option>
 <option value="HI">Hawaii</option>
    <!-- ... list continues ... -->
</select>

Copy and past Code from post above for the full code and enter website links.

<select onchange="location = this.options[this.selectedIndex].value;">
    <option>Please select</option>
    <option value="everlastingopportunities.com/Alabama/">Alabama (AL)</option>
    <option value="(ENTER WEBSITE LINK HERE)">Alaska (AK)</option>
