Pull Down Menu Items to Open in New Window

[daczac]

I have the following code for a pull down menu in my html. I added target="_blank" in the action as I want the contents of my selection to appear in a new window not the same window. Unfortunatly adding this doesn't work. Could you tell me what script I need to add? Thank-you

<form action="

http://www.cgiforme.com/jumporama/cgi/jumporama.cgi"

method="post" target="_blank" name="nav2">
<div><select onChange=
"document.location.href=
document.nav2.url.options[document.nav2.url.selectedIndex].value" name="url">
<option value="

http://www.cs.tut.fi/~jkorpela/forms/jsnav.html"

selected="selected">Please select a Stellarton By-Law:</option>
<option value="pdfs/bicycles.pdf">Bicycles</option>
<option value="pdfs/circuses.pdf">Circus</option>
<option value="pdfs/dogs.pdf">Dogs</option>
</select></div>
</form>

do you really want your navigation to be based on javascript? what if someone browses your site with javascript disabled?

regardless, you'll need to change your onchange event. for suggestions i'd recommend taking this to the javascript forum (

Thanks for the advice. I'm not stuck on javascript. Could you suggest another way of setting up a pull-down menu without javascript that will open up a new window when one of the items in the menu is selected? Thank-you
