is this in the same form?

also, is that the only value that needs to call that function for is there a function for each option.

yes there is a function for each option.
no its not in the same form. here is the whole select statement

<select name='field_general' size='1' class='inputbox' id='field_city'>
			<option value='allgene'>...select...</option>
	
			<option value='district' onClick='javascript:javaFunctiondistrict();'>district</option>
			
			<option value='gender' onClick='javascript:javaFunctiongender();'>Gender</option>
			<option value='status' onClick='javascript:javaFunctionstatus();'>status</option>
			<option value='type' onClick='javascript:javaFunctiontype();'>type</option>
			</select>

and here is one of the functions;

function javaFunctionschool(){
			 
var url="index.php?option=com_artband&Itemid=73?action=phpFunctionSchool";
	   window.open(url, "_self");
	  
	  }
