so, I got this form:


<form name="jump">

<select name="menu"

onChange="location=document.jump.menu.options[document.jump.menu.selectedIndex].value;" value="GO">

<option value="warhammer-subsite.php">Warhammer</option>

<option value="contact.php">Contact</option>

<option value="usercontact.php">User Contact</option>

</select>

</form>



but where should I put Target="content" in? anyway to do this?
 
Scrap that :(

use window.open() instead. It will reuse window/frame with the same name, if already opened.
 
You can put target property to a <form> element, which will cause your form to be sent to a specific frame or window after being submitted. There is no other place or usage of target property.
 
Vragabond, so you are saying that I should just put it into the <form>, right?

is this then correct?

<form target="content" name="jump">

because it don't work then.
 
Putting the "target" attribute in the form tag will make no difference to your code, as you are not submitting the form - you are directly setting "location".

Change "location = " to "content.location =" or "top.content.location =" instead.

Incidentally, you can probably remove the "value=GO" statement from your select box.

Hope this helps,
Dan
