</select><br />
</div><br />
</form><!--content-->I notice that 'onChange' you call a function, what is that functions code?<!--content-->this is the script dreamweaver produced: I am more of a visual designer - wingin' it with the programming. <br />
<br />
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/JavaScript"><br />
<!--<br />
function MM_jumpMenu(targ,selObj,restore){ //v3.0<br />
eval(targ+".location='"+selObj.options[selObj.selectedIndex].value+"'");<br />
if (restore) selObj.selectedIndex=0;<br />
}<br />
//--><br />
</script><!--content-->K, I'll get on it and find a solution for you. :D<!--content-->thank You...<br />
<br />
I bug my programmer all the time, i figured i would seek help elsewhere.<!--content--><script type="text/javascript"><br />
//<![CDATA[<br />
function MM_jumpMenu(targ,selObj,restore)<br />
{<br />
var op = selObj.options[selObj.selectedIndex];<br />
<br />
if(op.text.toLowerCase() != 'wisconsin')<br />
{<br />
location = op.value;<br />
}<br />
<br />
else window.open(op.value, '', '');<br />
<br />
if (restore) selObj.selectedIndex = 0;<br />
}<br />
//]]><br />
</script><!--content-->oh my gosh you rock!<br />
<br />
The only problem is i have to have every state(link) open in a new window. how do i do that. sorry i didn't mention that before.<!--content-->Borrowing from Fredmv, it should be:<br />
<br />
<script type="text/javascript"><br />
//<![CDATA[<br />
function MM_jumpMenu(targ,selObj,restore)<br />
{<br />
var op = selObj.options[selObj.selectedIndex];<br />
<br />
window.open(op.value, '', '');<br />
<br />
if (restore) selObj.selectedIndex = 0;<br />
}<br />
//]]><br />
</script><!--content-->DANG IT FRED! You beat me! Well, this is what I got.<br />
<br />
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/JavaScript"> <br />
<!-- <br />
function MM_jumpMenu(targ,selObj,restore){ //v3.0 <br />
window.open(selObj.options[selObj.selectedIndex].value)<br />
<br />
if (restore) selObj.selectedIndex=0; <br />
} <br />
//--> <br />
</script><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
I'll remember that fred!lol<br />
<br />
This will always open in new window<!--content-->Yes — the two above pieces of code are what you want — from your sample piece of code it seemed like all you wanted was so the "Wisconsin" option opened in a new window.<!--content-->thank you soooo much.<!--content-->No Problem, Glad we could help :D<!--content-->
