javascript problem

[darkeye78]

hi,

i have some javascript on my website, but it doesn't works:

header:
<script type=text/javascript>
function MM_jumpMenu(targ,selObj,restore){
meinFenster = window.open(targ,"meinFenster", "width=500,height=500,left=50,top=50, hotkeys=no, location=yes, menubar=no, resizable=yes, status=yes, toolbar=no, scrollbars=yes");
}
//-->
</script>


and in the body:
<select name="menu1" onChange="MM_jumpMenu('parent',this,0)">
<option value="start.htm" selected>start</option>
<option value="go.htm">go</option>
<option value="new.htm">new</option>

</select>


if i select 'go', my internet explorer doesn't open 'go.htm'. who knows the problem?

I'm not entirely sure and I'm probably worng, but............

I think part of the window.open() bit is wrong, you need to put "target=..." at the start instead of just the name of the target

Try taking out the 'targ' argument, and see if it works.

If not, I'm also not sure about the reference with 'this'
I'll just go and look it up, then I'll be back to you

Nope, scrap all that stuff that I wrote above! (sorry :rolleyes: )

You can't specify 'parent' as a target, because you are already telling it to open in a new window.

So........... take out the 'target' part and it should open your document in a new window.

Nope, scrap all that as well! :mad:
God, I'm useless! I tried out your code with my alterations and now it doesn't work at all!
Sorry
Anyone else out there to help?

God I'm useless!
Perhaps I'll stop trying to help people since I always end up confusing them!

<select name="menu1" onChange="MM_jumpMenu(this.options[this.selectedIndex].value,this,0)">
