Hi
can anyone show me how to open multiple popup window
using myWin.open() in both IE5&N4. This is how I want
it to work. I have a select box which will allow my user
to select multiple sites. After the selection,
I want to popup those sites base upon their preference.
However, when i select, let say 2 sites, my program
will popup six sites which is the same amount of sites
in my select box and that's not what i want.

This is the code i been working with:

<html>
<head><title>Assignment#5</title>

<script language=&quot;JavaScript&quot;>
<!--

function go()
{
var myCars=window.document.myForm.mySites

for (var i=0 ; i < myCars.length ; i++)
{

if (myCars.options.selected)
URL= &quot;[j].value;

var myWind=open(URL,'goCars','height=400,width=400,toolbar=no')
myWind.focus()

}
}

//-->
</script>
</head>
<body bgColor=lightblue>
<form name='myForm'>

<select name='mySites' multiple size=5 >
<option value=' BMW </option>
<option value=' Volkswagen </option>
<option value=' Ford </option>
<option value=' Honda </option>
<option value=' Volvo </option>
</select>
<br>
<input type=button value='show selected' onclick='go()'>
</form>
</body>

</html>

Maybe:

Code: 
 if (myCars.options[i].selected)

Thanks for pointing that out. However, it
was my error why posting the code at this site.
I already tried your that but it still couldn't work

function go()
{
var myCars=window.document.myForm.mySites
var URL;
for (var i=0 ; i < myCars.length ; i++)
{

if (myCars.options.selected)
URL= &quot;.value;

var myWind=open(URL,'goCars','height=400,width=400,toolbar=no')
myWind.focus()

}
}

think your open needs to be nested under the if also

Code: 
function go()
                         {       
                                 var myCars=window.document.myForm.mySites
                                 var URL;
                                 for (var i=0 ; i < myCars.length ; i++)
                                 {

                                     if (myCars.options[i].selected){ // this is new
                                              URL= &quot;[URL unfurl="true"]http://&quot;+myCars.options[/URL][i].value;

                                               var                                                           myWind=open(URL,'goCars','height=400,width=400,toolbar=no')
                                              myWind.focus()

                                    } // this is new
                           }
                         }
