dropdown into new window

[chrisparr21681]

Hi, i have the dropdown as shown below but need to open it in a new window...i have tried
window.new.location.href = URL; to no avail....please help

function formHandler(form)
{
var URL = document.form.site.options[document.form.site.selectedIndex].value;
window.location.href = URL;
}

<form name="form">
<select name="site" size=1 onChange="javascript:formHandler()">
<option value="

http://www.yahoo.com"=

>Getting Started...
<option value="

http://www.google.com">Google

</select>
</form>

in your formHandler function use the window.open javascript function .

 

[chrisparr21681]

would the syntax be like this??

function formHandler(form)
{
var URL = document.form.site.options[document.form.site.selectedIndex].value;
window.open = URL; (or window.open.href = URL
}


if so i cant get either of these to work

 

[arst06d]

window.open(url of target, name of new window, attributes of new window)

ie:

function formHandler(form)
{
var URL = document.form.site.options[document.form.site.selectedIndex].value;
window.open(URL);
}
