form opening website from ddl

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Feb 26.2006

I am building a webpage and can’t seem to find an easy way to do something that should be easy.

I have a drop down list and a “go to website” button. I have the option values set to a URL. When a user selects a value in the drop down list, and clicks on the go to website button, I would like the corresponding URL from the ddl to launch in a new IE window. What’s an easy way to do this?

TIA,
GH77
