Drop down menu new window?

SportsNut · Jan 24, 2005

OK, I'm stumped.

I want the links in a dropdown menu to open in a "new window".

I have tried several different ways but none are working. this is the start of the code with the three ways I have tried to open a new window.

<FORM NAME="form1">
<SELECT NAME="select1" onChange="window.location.href = this.options[this.selectedIndex].value" SIZE="1">
<OPTION selected>select a drug</OPTION>
<OPTION VALUE="http://www.freevibe.com/drug_facts/alcohol.asp" target="newwin">alcohol</OPTION>
<OPTION VALUE="http://www.freevibe.com/drug_facts/crack.asp*_blank">crack and cocaine</OPTION>
<OPTION VALUE="http://www.freevibe.com/drug_facts/ecstasy.asp" target="blank">ecstasy</OPTION>

that's not going to work. try this

[font=Verdana,Arial,Helvetica][font=Verdana,Arial,Helvetica]<html>
<head>
<title>test</title>

<head>
<body>
<form name="theForm" method="post">
<select name="mypage">
<option value=[/font][/font][font=Verdana,Arial,Helvetica][font=Verdana,Arial,Helvetica]"page one">page one</option>
<option value="two.asp">page two</option>
<option value="three.asp">page three</option>
<option value="four.asp">page four</option>
</select>
<input type="button"
onclick="location = ''+document.theForm.mypage.options[document.theForm.mypage.selectedIndex].value;"
value="Submit!" />
</form>
</body>
</html>[/font][/font]

It turns out all I had to do was change this

<SELECT NAME="select1" onChange="window.location.href = this.options[this.selectedIndex].value" SIZE="1">

to this

<select name="select1" onchange="window.open(this.options[this.selectedIndex].value,'_blank','');">
