 Simple Javascript
Hi i have just started learning javascript, but this is really urgent and help would be greatly appreciated:
i am using this javascript, creating a simple dropdown link menue. now i want to change it so that the links open in a new window. sounds simple but i just cant do it. heres the script:
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
<!--
// original code by Bill Trefzger 12/12/96
function go1(){
if (document.selecter1.select1.options[document.selecter1.select1.selectedIndex].value != "none") {
location = document.selecter1.select1.options[document.selecter1.select1.selectedIndex].value
}
}
//-->
</script>
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
<!--
document.write('<form name="selecter1"><select name="select1" size=1>');
document.write('<option value=none>Searchmachines');
document.write('<option value=none>--------------------');
document.write('<option value="http://www.yahoo.com">Yahoo');
document.write('<option value="http://www.google.com">Google');
document.write('<option value="http://www.metager.de/">Metager');
document.write('<option value="http://uk.yahoo.com">Yahoo UK');
document.write('<option value="http://www.scoot.co.uk">Scoot');
document.write('</select>');
document.write('<input type="button" value="Go" onclick="go1()">');
document.write('</form>');
// end hiding contents -->
</script>
What do i have to change?
Thanks in advance!!

I'm not sure why you're using JavaScript to write out the form like that, but hey, to each his own  If you wanted the links to open in a new window, try replacing your go1() functon with this:
Code:
function go1(){
href=document.selecter1.select1.options[document.selecter1.select1.selectedIndex].value;
if(href != 'none') window.open(href,'gowindow','toolbar=yes');
}

No, that way I get a "syntax error" message. Thanks for your help anyway!
Is there a better way to create a link list which first opens a user specified message and then opens a new window? If yes I would REALLY like to know.

why don't you try something like this
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
function openwindow()
{
window.open("http://www.msn.com","my_new_window","toolbar=yes,location=yes,direc tories=no,status=no,menubar=yes,scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes ,copyhistory=yes,width=400,height=400")
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form>
<input type="button"
value="Open Window"
onclick="openwindow()">
</form>
</body>
</html>
<html>
<head>
<script language="JavaScript">
function source()
{
location="view-source:" + window.location.href
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form>
<input type="button" value="View source" onclick="source()">
</form>
</body>
</html>
then you can set the link to what ever you need it to be.

what Grizzly said works for me are u sure you did it correctly?
btw you might wnt to remove the extra parameters in window.open() so the new window looks exactly like a normal one.

Yes. Now it works fine thanks a lot!!!
