Function/SelectedIndex

[hard2figure]

:confused:

I'm having a very difficult time with JavaScript. I am new to it and I just can't grab the concept. One of the things I'm having trouble with are functions and selectedIndexes.

For example,

what would I write if I was asked to do the following

"write a function named jump_to_link(weblist)
"within the function, create a variable named url_number that is equal to the selectedIndex property of the weblist variable"

I had the following but its not working.

function jump_to_link(weblist)}
var url_number=selectedIndex(weblist).value
url_number[0]="http://yoga.htm"
also I'm suppose to create a URL to <a> tags that runs a JavaScript command to reload the Web page. I understood that to mean that I should put the following in quotations marks select name="a href#"

Can anyone help?

url_number=document.formName.selectBoxName[document.formName.selectBoxName.options.selectedIndex].value;

<option value="#"> Should reload the page

Thank you Dave Clark and Jona for your feedback. I really do appreciate it. I do believe that the information I recv'd helped however, I have one last question;

"How would I set the location object equal to the value of the selected option in the weblist field, if the selected option has the object name weblist.options[url_number]?"

Please reply!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks again guys, you're awesome!

:D :) ;) :cool:

Thanks again. I had the =weblist.options[url_number].value; part right but the stuff before the = was definitely incorrect.

It works now.

Thanks alot. I'm not sure I can handle JavaScript. It's too complicated.

Once again you saved me and I appreciate that. Take care and God Bless!

What was the solution for the set the location object to the value of the selected option in the weblist field if the selected option has the object name weblist.options[[url_number]?

function jump_to_link(weblist)
var url_number=selectedIndex(weblist).value
url_number=document.formName.selectBoxName[documnet.formName.selectBoxName.options.selectedIndex].value
=weblist.options[url_number}.value
