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 :)

just needed to change one thing tho

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

code:
<input type="button" name="news_view" value="View" onClick="OpenWin()">

I've put your function in, works a treat & is much smaller :lol:

Cheers :thumbs:

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

try that mate, might work :) although i can just work out javascript lol

:lol: ok will give it a try cheers!

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>

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>

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>

aye just messin about with the code now

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

tried piggybackin it but no joy so far, ill have another go & up it see if it works

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 :)

At a guess, find this line:

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

you need abit of javascript or vbscript in there :thumbs:
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 :(
