Pass radiobutton selection or dropdown selection to querystring in URL
<p>I have two columns of radio buttons and a dropdown for additional selection. Both controls are choices for the same Item like "specialty" in this example..how do I get the selected value from radio buttons if one of the radio buttons from either the left column or right column is selected or the dropdown selection if the dropdown is selected and pass that selection as a querystring to an URL??  so if Cardiologist is selected from radio buttons, i would like to pass it to the url as</p>

<pre><code>/search/pages/physicians.aspx?v=relevance&amp;s=Physicians&amp;k=Cardiologist
</code></pre>

<p>or if number1 is selected from the dropdown, then to the url is appended </p>

<pre><code>/search/pages/physicians.aspx?v=relevance&amp;s=Physicians&amp;k=number1
</code></pre>

<p>How to do so in jquery?</p>
