Not a PHP Question: Javascript

dbaz

Last time I posted on this board, I got an instant response to my question... and thus far, I haven't been able to get any help on the following issue.

It's a pretty basic Javascript question (although I am not good with Javascript). I am just trying to make the following pulldown menu open the page into a new window when selected.

Here is the code... any help is appreciated. I apologize if posting outside of PHP is major 'no-no.'

=============

<select name="select" onChange="MM_jumpMenu('parent',this,0)">
<option value="#" selected>Search Products</option>
<option value="9006.html">AC/DC Portable Fans</option>
</select>

thanks,

between the <head> tags

<script language="javascript">

function open_win(form) {
   var TestVar = form.select.value;
   window.open(TestVar);
}

</script>

Then your form

<form>

<select name="select" onChange="open_win(this.form)"> 
<option value="#" selected>Search Products</option> 
<option value="9006.html">AC/DC Portable Fans</option> 
</select> 

</form>

However if they select the first, you may not want to open a new window. You can just use a simple if statement to check for a value of '#'.
