Menu
The below line opens a selected index from a drop down in a browser window. The form field is in a div called “contents”. I need to know the syntax needed to open this selection in another div on the same page called “main”. The “_top” location opens the file in a new window. I want to open this on the same page. Do I need javascript for this?
[CODE]onchange=”window.open(this.options[this.selectedIndex].value,’_top’)” style=”text-align: center”>
Here is all the code for my file:
