ok...after much searching & tweaking i finally got my drop-down menu to work (i wanted to have a drop down that didn't require a 'submit' button)...however, now i want it to open in a new window and some of the HTML i copied was from an "open in a frame" post so i know 'why' it's not working...just not sure how to fix it! help pls!<br />
<br />
here's the code:<br />
<br />
<form><br />
<select onChange="parent.location=options[selectedIndex].value;"><br />
<option SELECTED>Pick A Site</option><br />
<option value="http://www.domain.com">Site1</option><br />
<option value="http://www.domain.com">Site2</option><br />
<option value="http://www.domain.com">Site3</option><br />
<option value="http://www.domain.com">Site4</option><br />
<option value="http://www.domain.com">Site5</option><br />
<option value="http://www.domain.com">Site6</option><br />
</select><br />
</form><br />
<br />
this line:<br />
<select onChange="parent.location=options[selectedIndex].value;"><br />
used to be this:<br />
<select onChange="parent.bottomframe.location=options[selectedIndex].value;"><br />
so i have tried tweaking it but everything i do doesn't work! TIA.<!--content-->Google is your friend....<br />
