Open site in a new window

Anon

Hello everybody,

I've got a problemen.
I want to open a site in a new window with a Select-list.
When I selected a value in the select and clicked the OK button, the site has to open in a new browser.
What's the code I've got to use to open a site in a new browser?

Thanks.

One word! JavaScript. What you want can´t be done with PHP.

You actually should post this question on a ClientSide/JavaScript forum instead.

The code below will open a new window with the url specified in the "value" attribute of the "option" element upon changes to the "select" element (note that you don´t need a "OK" button, if you want it, make the suitable changes):

Between <head> and </head>
---8<-----
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript">

function navigateTo(url)
{
winName = 'nameOfNewWindow';
winFeatures 'YourOwnWindowFeatures';
window.open(url, winName, winFeatures);
}

</script>
---8<-----

---8<-----
<select name="nameOfSelectElement" onchange="navigateTo(this.options[this.selectedIndex].value)">
<option value="url1">nameOfUrl1</option>
<option value="url2">nameOfUrl2</option>
<option value="url3">nameOfUrl3</option>
</select>
---8<-----

Happy Coding
