Combo box with one selection special

[royyan]

I have a combo box with a list of options. I would like to have the last selection "Choose More..." as a link. It will load a page to provide more options when user select it. All other options will remain as normal selection.
Thanks!

I don't think you can put a link inside a combobox. What you can do is popup another window onChange event.

Something like:
<form name="f1" method="post" action="next.asp">
<select name="myCombo" size="1" onChange="popupMore()">
<option value="more">Choose More...</option>
....other options...
</select>
</form>

<script language="javascript">
function popupMore(){
if (document.f1.myCombo.value=="more"){
window.open("balb blab...)
//or do something else
}
}
</script>

You can simulate a link thru your dropdown using kendel's suggestion. All you have to do is change his window.open to window.location = 'someNewPage.html'

What I am trying to do is load page to another frame which is similar you generate a pop up page. I actually have some JavaScript code to do this. But somehow it has problem when I select other options such as Yellow, Green. See code below.
<code>
function select1_onchange() {
if(form.select1[searchform.select1.selectedIndex]..value = "

http://www.yahoo.com"){

parent.mainFrame.location = form.select1.options[searchform.select1.selectedIndex].value;
}


<select id=select1 name=select1 size="1" LANGUAGE=javascript onchange="return select1_onchange()">
<option value="Yellow">Yellow</option>
<option value="Green">Green</option>
<option value="Red">Red</option>
<option value="

http://www.yahoo.com">Choose

More...</option>
</select>

</code>
Can anybody help me figure out what is wrong? Thanks!

Ok, I figure out my previous code problem. I should use
if(form.select1[searchform.select1.selectedIndex]..value == "

http://www.yahoo.com")

instead of
if(form.select1[searchform.select1.selectedIndex]..value = "

http://www.yahoo.com")

Thank you both all the same!
