Select + jscript

[Anon]

How can I write a PHP and java script to open a new form from the select name.
e.g.
in my ph script there is select options

<form name=duzen method="POST">
<select name="class" onchange=new_form_open()>
<option> Non Serialized
<option> Seriliazed
</select>

When the user select a Serilazied options I want to open new window for data entry. How can I get and what is the event for the selections? In my script it works for oncahnge event.But I need selection value for the open a new window.

Thanks.

To acess the selected item in class you can use:

document.[your forms name].class.options[document.[your forms name].class.selectedIndex].text;

To open the window, use window.open().

G'luck,

Is Onchange even is correct or anaother event is possible?. On change even is working only changing. What is the more suitable event for this case or for each selection .

Thanks.

As far as I know, the only event handlers for a SELECT are onfocus, onblur, onclick and onchange. Onchange fires when the selected item changes, but not if it was already selected and is just clicked. There are no event handlers for OPTION.

Can you not just use a button to submit the form to another php script, and use the value of $class in there, to decide what action to take?

Otherwise, as Jack says, you need to use Javascript to decide which window to open.
