pull down menu's

liunx · Jan 9, 2008

i have created a pull down menu, but i want to change it so whenever wny one clicked 'go', the link would be opened in a new window, and i cant find any scripts to do that, and i dont mind if its in HTML or JavaScript.....<a href=http://www.webdeveloper.com/forum/archive/index.php/"somewhere.htm target="_blank">somewhere</a> 
 
like that?it doesnt work, the menu im using is scripted as: 
 
<form name="jump"> 
 
<select name="menu"> 
<option value="pageno.html">Bridge Map</option> 
<option value="pageno.html">Bridge SE</option> 
<option value="pageno.html">Collapsed Tunnel</option> 
<input type="button" 
onClick="location=document.jump.menu.options[document.jump.menu.selectedIndex].value;" 
value="Go!" 
</form> 
 
i want all of them to open up in a new window.....You could try <base target="_blank"> in your head section. But this would open all links in a new window... 
 
Other than that you'll have to post your code in. Some of them come with instructions covering how to do this.<form name="jump"> 
 
<select name="menu"> 
<option value="pageno.html">Bridge Map</option> 
<option value="pageno.html">Bridge SE</option> 
<option value="pageno.html">Collapsed Tunnel</option> 
<input type="submit" target="_blank" 
onClick="location=document.jump.menu.options[document.jump.menu.selectedIndex].value;" 
value="Go!" 
</form> 
 
Might try that. Not sure though. Good luck

no didnt work

im using frontpage btw....Do you want that paticular page to open up in a new window? or do you want, when you hit Go, to open up in a new window? 
 
The target="_blank" attribute will open it in a new window.when i press 'go', i want the selected link to open up in a new window, meaning that any link selected from the menu should open up in a new window when i press go 
 
that method doesnt work though.....<form name="jump"> 
 
<select name="menu"> 
<option value="pageno.html">Bridge Map</option> 
<option value="pageno.html">Bridge SE</option> 
<option value="pageno.html">Collapsed Tunnel</option> 
<input type="submit" target="_blank" 
onClick="location=document.jump.menu.options[document.jump.menu.selectedIndex].value;" 
value="Go!" 
</form> 
 
doesnt have a > at the end should be this 
 
<form name="jump"> 
 
<select name="menu"> 
<option value="pageno.html">Bridge Map</option> 
<option value="pageno.html">Bridge SE</option> 
<option value="pageno.html">Collapsed Tunnel</option> 
<input type="submit" target="_blank" 
onClick="location=document.jump.menu.options[document.jump.menu.selectedIndex].value;" 
value="Go!"> 
</form>

</form>it works perfectly, thanx mate

lol, me again, 
 
in the pop ups, i want the new window to be in such a way that the user canot copy or click the image, and that the page matches the size of the pic when loaded up in the top left hand side, and that the there is no address bar, no links bar or the back/forward/history/home etc etc buttons on the top, i know there is a script to do that but i cant find it

Take a look at <a class="postlink" href="http://www.infinitypages.com/research/imagepopup.htm">http://www.infinitypages.com/research/imagepopup.htm</a>i already know about that but its java script and i cant incorporate it into the pull down menu somehow, look up <a class="postlink" href="http://www.crystalarch.com/aagotmillk/">www.crystalarch.com/aagotmillk/</a> and you'll understand what im trying to do, use: 
 
username: alienonrampage 
password: hashbash 
 
also tell me what u think about the site

I get a 404 on that link...i get a 404 aswellIf one get's it, it probably could be understood that others will as well...

well yeah

whoopsie, sorry bout that, 
 
i gave the wrong link, here u go: 
 
<a class="postlink" href="http://www.crystalarch.com/aagotmilk/">www.crystalarch.com/aagotmilk/</a> 
 
that oughta do it, username/pass is still valid.....
