Can I use (and if so how) to display a simple drop down selection (lets say like a selected date) from one article in a different Joomla article? I want a visitor to select a date which then opens up a page based on that selected date, showing the date and further information. I run a select script which allows me to open the page but I do not know how to transfer the selected date (value) to the corresponding article.

<select name="jumpit" onchange="document.location.href=this.value">
<option selected="selected" value="#">Choose Dates</option>
<option value="http://example.html">Start Aug 3, 2013</option>
<option value="http://example.html">Start Aug 05, 2013</option>
<option value="http://example.html">Start AUG 09, 2013</option>
</select>
