i have a couple links in drop down list, that i would like them to open in a new window, but can't seem to get them to. Can it be done?

<select name="select" onchange="MM_jumpMenu('[COLOR="#FF0000"][B]parent[/B][/COLOR]',this,0)">

Probably can be changed to

<select name="select" onchange="MM_jumpMenu('[COLOR="#FF0000"][B]blank[/B][/COLOR]',this,0)">

blank may be new or something like that.

This assumes that targ means "target" in this script:

<script type="text/JavaScript">
function MM_jumpMenu([B][COLOR="#FF0000"]targ[/COLOR][/B],selObj,restore){
window[[B][COLOR="#FF0000"]targ[/COLOR][/B]].location=""+selObj.options[selObj.selectedIndex].value;
if (restore) selObj.selectedIndex=0;
}
</script>

Thanks so much

It didn't work, but when I google search it. Is what I have is a jump menu? or what's the right term for it?

Some trial and error. Try this:

<select name="select" onchange="MM_jumpMenu(window.open(this.value),this,0)">

Ok. this works, but not in safari browser. should i worry?

Kevin2

That's your call. How many visitors do you get who use Safari? Does it work in iOS Safari? If the numbers are a significant percentage, does it really, really, really matter if it opens in a new window/tab vs. the same? I mean, is this a deal breaker? If so, maybe a new navigation design is necessary; if not ... well, not.

thank you.
