Hi, I'm a begginner I am struggling with the following.
I am trying to use the below code to navigate within my site. However when I replace the url for the external links with relative urls from my site eg. "main.htm" I get an error

<SCRIPT>
<!--
function redirect(pulldown) {
newlocation = pulldown[pulldown.selectedIndex].value;
if (newlocation != &quot;&quot;)
self.location = newlocation;
}

function resetIfBlank(pulldown){
possiblenewlocation = pulldown[pulldown.selectedIndex].value;
if (possiblenewlocation == &quot;&quot;)
pulldown.selectedIndex = 0; /* reset to start since no movement */
}
//-->
</SCRIPT>
</HEAD>

<BODY>
<FORM NAME=&quot;navForm&quot;>
<B>Favorite Sites:</B>
<SELECT NAME=&quot;menu&quot; onChange=&quot;resetIfBlank(this)&quot;>
<OPTION VALUE=&quot;&quot; CLASS=&quot;nochoice&quot; SELECTED> Choose your site

hi !
i just copied/pasted your code (obviously, put in the <html><head> and their respective closing tags etc..
and ran the code -

WORKED FINE !!!

choose a location from the menu (ie, Yahoo), and voila - yahoo opens in a new window.. :)

using location works much better if you use a complete URL. Even for pages within your own site you can still code a complete URL. Tracy Dryden
