drop down menu open window function instead of URL

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Sep 23.2003

I know how to construct a drop down menu so that selecting an option will open a new page or URL.

I have a separate function already written in javascript that works with a button called openall().

Is it possible to make an option open a javascript open window function instead of the page or URL.

I have this so far:

<form>
<select onChange=”mailing=window.open(”,’mailing’);mailing.location=this.options[this.selectedIndex].value;” style=”font-family:’Arial’;color:#000000;background-color:#FFFFFF;font-size:10pt;”>
<option selected>- Select one – </option>
<option value=”AllMail.asp” target=”top”>All</option>
<option value=”othermail.asp”>Other</option>
</select>
</form>

Would appreciate any help you can give.

Thanks,
blodefood?

@pyroSep 23.2003 — How about:

&lt;select onchange="window.open(this.options[this.selectedIndex].value,'child','width=640,height=480, scrollbars=1');&gt;
&lt;option value="http://www.webdevfaqs.com"&gt;
&lt;option value="http://www.w3c.org"&gt;
&lt;/select&gt;

If this info is helpful, the pages I am trying to open are in the same directory as the originating page.
