you need abit of javascript or vbscript in there

Basically, when option box equals a certain value, which you set in the HTML option box value setting, goto here, etc

And btw, take the right-mouse click event off, if people want to nick your stuff they will, it doesnt protect you against anything

edit: if you wack up the sorce code or sumthing i can write abit of vbscript to do it, but then it will only work in IE browsers

Im not good at javascript

At a guess, find this line:

code:
<select name="archives_menu" onChange="MM_jumpMenu('parent',this,0)">

and change 'parent' to '_blank'

Or it might be 'this' wants changing to '_blank'. I'd have to know more about those functions.

thing is, paul has javascript in place already - when ya click on the little paper icon it popups with the newsletter. So basically you just piggy back the same code into the option (select) box

No, the MM_jumpMenu function has target as an input, should be very easy to specific a new window in there.

Heres some vbscript and it works

Wack this inside the head tags -

code:


<Script language="vbscript">

Function OpenWin()

Dim strVal

strVal = form1.mnu.options(form1.mnu.selectedindex).value

If strVal <> "#" then

   set popupWin = window.open(strVal,"NewsLetter","scrollbars=yes, width=720, height=500")

   set popupWin = nothing

End If

End Function

</script>

Then change the selection box bit to this -

code:


<form name="form1">

<select name="mnu" onChange="OpenWin()">

<option value="#" selected>-- Please Choose Newsletter --</option>

<option value="1002.htm">Test1</option>

</select>

'repeat above for others

<input type="button" name="news_view" value="View" onClick="MM_jumpMenuGo('archives_menu','parent',0)">

</form>

Tested it here and it works

Rite

got it now to open a popup correctly, but, the parent is also being changed. I've tried sending it to _blank & also completely removing the parent decleration, but doing that stops it working all together...

code:
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/JavaScript">

<!--

function MM_jumpMenu(targ,selObj,restore){ //v3.0

  window.open(eval(targ+".location='"+selObj.options[selObj.selectedIndex].value+"'"),'arch','scrollbars=yes,width=720,height=500');

  if (restore) selObj.selectedIndex=0;

}



function MM_findObj(n, d) { //v4.01

  var p,i,x;  if(!d) d=document; if((p=n.indexOf("?"))>0&&parent.frames.length) {

    d=parent.frames[n.substring(p+1)].document; n=n.substring(0,p);}

  if(!(x=d[n])&&d.all) x=d.all[n]; for (i=0;!x&&i<d.forms.length;i++) x=d.forms[n];

  for(i=0;!x&&d.layers&&i<d.layers.length;i++) x=MM_findObj(n,d.layers.document);

  if(!x && d.getElementById) x=d.getElementById(n); return x;

}



function MM_jumpMenuGo(selName,targ,restore){ //v3.0

  var selObj = MM_findObj(selName); if (selObj) MM_jumpMenu(targ,selObj,restore);

}

//-->

</script>



              <form name="form1">

                <select name="archives_menu" onChange="MM_jumpMenu('parent',this,0)">

                  <option value="#" selected>-- Please Choose Newsletter --</option>

                  <option value="1002.htm">October 2002</option>

                </select>

                <input type="button" name="news_view" value="View" onClick="MM_jumpMenuGo('archives_menu','parent',0)">

              </form>

thing is mate, whats the point in having that button? as soon as you change the option box value it loads up the newsletter

so either drop the button or drop the onchange event

Also, note that vbscript isnt that good in other browsers

So i would still look for a way to get it to work in javascript. Best bet mate, look it up on javascript.com or something, google etc

it'l do for now, everyone at work (the school) uses IE6, so as long as it works for them for now, I can work on sorting it out for other browsers soon
