Onchange - why isn't this working?

GirlFriday1 · May 9, 2001

Hello there!
I have a drop down box with that is populated using a database. This is the code:

<SELECT NAME="User">
<option value="<%=Request.Servervariables("SCRIPT_NAME&quot

%>" selected>-- Select --</option>
<% While not RS2.EOF %>
<option value="<%=RS2.Fields("id&quot

%>"
<%
if Userid = RS2.Fields("id&quot

then
Response.Write "SELECTED"
UserInfo = RS2.Fields("Last Name&quot

& ", " & RS2.Fields("First Name&quot

& " "
UserInfo2 = RS2.Fields("Department Name&quot

& " "
UserInfo3 = RS2.Fields("Phone Number&quot

& " "
UserInfo4 = RS2.Fields("Email Address&quot

& " "
end if
%>
><
%=RS2.Fields("Last Name&quot

%> , <%=RS2.Fields("First Name&quot

%></option>
<% RS2.MoveNext
Wend %>
</SELECT>
As you can see, it is in both JScript and ASP. The problem is I don't want the user to get an error message if they select the Select option. This isn't really an option.. I thought that something like

<select name="URL" size="1" onchange="if(options[selectedIndex].value) window.location.href= (options[selectedIndex].value)">

would work, but alas, no dice.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Shelli

I would suggest ,

<select name="URL" onchange=javascript:jump()>
...
...
</select>

and at the top of the page b4 the <body> tag put in
<script>
function jump()
{
if(options[selectedIndex].value)
{
window.location.href=(options[selectedIndex].value)
}
}
</script>

Let me know how you get on. DeltaFlyer ;-)
