Need help on DRop-down menu,please

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:

To whom it may concern,

Could someone lend some assistance on a snippet of HTML or Java.
I have found a drop-down menu in the Javascript section that is pretty much what I have been looking for. But, it opens a whole new page. Here is the URL:

[url]http://javascript.internet.com/generators/drop-down-menu.html[/url]
What I would like it to do, would be open a window on ontop of the main window, sized to about the size of an index card. I have seen this type of devise used on other sites and it would be very helpful.
I am building a new site, and I want it to be very user-friendly and interactive.
Thank you in advance for any help.

where url = the url selected from the drop down list box.

    <input type="button" onClick="location=document.jump.menu.options[document.jump.menu.selectedIndex].value;" value="GO">

    the above should look like something like this

    <input type="button" onClick="window.open(document.jump.menu.options[document.jump.menu.selectedIndex].value,'winName','width=200,height=200');" value="GO">

    Success!
