hey guys

need some help here, i have a list say this for example.

<head>

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">

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

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

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

<option value="

http://www.metacrawler.com">Metacrawler

<option value="

http://www.altavista.digital.com">Altavista

<option value="

http://www.webcrawler.com">Webcrawler

<option value="

http://www.lycos.com">Lycos

<option value="

http://javascript.internet.com">JavaScript

Source
</select>
</form>
</body>

=================================
what i need is for the go to... (after first option value)and line space right underneath it, instead of doing nothing i would like a pop-up to popup and say choose something please. let them hit ok and they choose again...
any help would be appreciated.

i'm not completely sure on this, but maybe you could say in the <select> tag onSelect="javascript: formhandler();"
and add a line in the function....
if (document.form.site.value==null){
alert("Choose something please&quot

}

Later,
