Onchange event handler to open the link outside the frames?

[stax]

Hi,

I'm trying I cant get my drop down menu selectable list of URL links to open into the selected URL into the outer most frame (the main html page) and not in the frame or table that it sits within, My HTML code is below..

<FORM NAME="nav">
<SELECT NAME="SelectURL" style="width:11.38em" align="left" onChange="document.location.href=document.nav.SelectURL.options[document.nav.SelectURL.selectedIndex].value">
<OPTION VALUE="

http://www.mylinkhere.com">the

menu option
</SELECT>
</FORM>

I was told that to do so i need to write in java as "You would need to change your onchange event handler to open the link outside the frames. The onchange handler calls javascript"

Can anyone suggest how i would do this? and would i put the java script directly before my HTML code above? Any help would be apprieciated!
