@cyber1Sep 18.2005 — The problems are numerous.

needed form tags being you are using form calls

the function seems to be part of a larger function

select box had no name

so I came up with this:

[code=html]<form>
<select name="urls" size="1" onChange="window.open(this.options[this.selectedIndex].value,'_blank')">
<OPTION value=http://geocities.com/o_c_f_m_l/index1.htmlselected>Home
<OPTION value=http://geocities.com/o_c_f_m_l/rules.html>Rules

@DS_4_lifeauthorSep 19.2005 — actually i found were my mistake was. I acidently deleted the form tags. I deleted this bit of code

<FORM onsubmit="return false" action=# method=post>

and the </form> at the end.

I put that bit of code in and now it works.

Thanks for your help.
