form box not working

[TaiChi56]

I need help with my form box. If you go to

http://www.roymillerhighschool.com

and click on a sport you get a page that does not show anything. Then when you back to click on another sport nothing happens. Here is the code I used.

<!-- drop down as an include -->
<FORM style=&quot;MARGIN-TOP: 0px; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px&quot;>
<select
style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 10px&quot;
onChange=&quot;window.open(this.options[this.selectedIndex].value,'_top')&quot;
name=location>
<option>Buccaneer Sports</option>

You'll kick yourself... Where you've got
[tt]
<option value=&quot;htpp://

http://www.roymillerhighschool.com/baseball.html&quot;>

[/tt]
you should have
[tt]
<option value=&quot;http://

http://www.roymillerhighschool.com/baseball.html&quot;>

[/tt]
Actually, you should be able to get away with
[tt]
<option value=&quot;/baseball.html&quot;>
[/tt]
as the browser will assume a document is on the current site if you don't specify another.

Hey Chris, do you need the slash in that? If you used

<option value=&quot;baseball.html&quot;>

Then the browser will look in the same directory, but adding the slash makes it go to the root level. I think, anyway.

Cheers,

You're right, you don't need the slash on that page. I left it in because it's being used in a menu bar which might (now or in the future) also be used on a page that lives in a subdirectory. I think it's good practice to use URLs in menus that are relative to the document root rather than the current document.

Ah.

I tend to kick out directories and subdirectories like bunny pellets on a site, so I must have stopped using references to root when it would screw me up (I'm trying to remember a six-year old decision). Also must have been a pain because I think when I started doing some of this stuff, &quot;root&quot; wasn't top top level of your HTML directory, but the top level of your account.

Oh dear, I've become old. How the hell did that happen?

Cheers,

Thanks guys. You are right. I am kicking myself. Sorry it took so long to write back. I was out doing an adventure race and just got back. Thanks for your help. I guess I was too much in a hurry. I know to always go back and check the syntax first. Thanks for the support.
