Select Menu, go to url on select with JQuery?

Question

I have the following html:

HTML markup

<ul id="test">
   <li><a href="http://www.yahoo.com">yahoo</a></li>
   <li><a href="http://www.google.com">Google</a></li>
</ul>

And some JS code:

JQuery/JavaScript Code

$('ul#test').each(function()
{
   var select=$(document.createElement('select')).insertBefore($(this).hide());
   $('>li a', this).each(function()
   { 
 option=$(document.createElement('option')).appendTo(select).val(this.href).html($(this).html());
   });
});

This code produces a select dropdown menu, exactly what I want, but my question is how do I go to the url on select? So if I click yahoo, it brings me to yahoo.com?

Thanks for your help!

$('ul#test').each(function()
{
   var select=$(document.createElement('select')).insertBefore($(this).hide());
   $('>li a', this).each(function()
   { 
 option=$(document.createElement('option')).appendTo(select).val(this.href).html($(this).html());
   });
   select.change(function(){
    //alert('url = ' + this.value );
    window.location.href = this.value;
  })
});

tested working demo on major browsers.
