You the man!

Just change this:

if(url!="stay")
window.open(url);

to this:
if(url!="stay")
location.href = url;

oh my goodness, it finally works! woooo hoooo!

one quick question: how do I get the new pages to load in the same window and not in another window?

Thanks again for your help!

You can easily modify my script to do what you want:

Remove the onChange="java script:loadSite();" in my script and call it from the "OnClick" event ( tag) as I explained in my 2nd example.

I appreciate you suggestions and the fact that you have posted a working script above. I am following a particular format where I am requiring the user to select an option and then have to click on the continue button. Your example works properly and is a useful script to know but it is nonconforming to the rest of my web where I have similar situations occurring. I have an idea of what you are talking about with the "selecting element" but do not possess the knowledge to remedy the problem... That is where I was hoping you all would come into play!

And forgot to add, your code will not work even if you make that change.

Why?

Because you are not checking for which "select" element is "selected" in your function.

If you don't know what that means, then you won't be able to make your program works.

So, whatever changes you make, it will *NOT* work.

I pasted a fully working script earlier. Why can't you use it? Simply modify my url's to your local url's.

You're calling onClick from the wrong place.

It should be:

Remove the other href onclick tag.

Let me know if it works.

Actual JavaScript code to make the drop-down work

ravijp — Tue, 04 Dec 2001 03:03:11 +0000

This is what I've done for my sites.

Check out http://www.CyberConneXions.com
(see the drop down at the top right corner)

I've used a drop down to display links to my other sites
(all owned and designed and maintained by yours truly )

I've pasted both the javascript function and the
form (select) code below.

Modify the links to suite your url's. Let me know if you need further help.

I also run a mailing list for webmasters and
do-it-yourself web site owners, where I give away
a lot of such code for free.

Feel free (pun intended) to sign up at
http://www.CyberConneXions.com/totd if you care.
