Dropdown menu, one option linked

[leonk09]

Hi,

I've got a plain and simple drop-down menu.

But....I want one of the values to open a link in a target window when selected (just one, the others should be just normal values).

Is there a way to do this because currently I only have scripts for making every value a link.

Thanks for your help

if the values are static, you could do something like this:

function doBlah(s, i) {
    if (s.selectedIndex == i) {
        window.location = s.options[i].value;
    }
}

and then

<select onchange="doBlah(this, 2);">
  <option value="hi">hi</option>
  <option value="bye">bye</option>
  <option value="[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.google.com/">google</option>[/URL]
  <option value="stuff">stuff</option>
</select>

Cooool,

How do I get it to a target frame though?

you'll need to change your funtion slightly:

function doBlah(s, i) {
    if (s.selectedIndex == i) {
        top.frames['yourFrameName'].location = s.options[i].value;
    }
}
