: Works great, until we put an option in the list that loads an external link. We can't get it to go to the top of the browser and break out of our own frameset.
: If I try to put a TARGET="_top" in the <OPTION> tag, the HTML editor flags it as improper and the function above ignores it.
: Is there some way I can pass a TARGET="_top" from an <OPTION> and have it recognized by the above function or something similar, and have a null target load in the Homepage frame?
Form select fields have two pieces of data for each option: text and value, theres room to store a thrid item - so cheat:
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
function surfto (selectlist) {
var url = selectlist.options[selectlist.selectedInde].value
if (url.indexOf ('http://')
top.location.href = selectlist.options[myindex].value;
else
location.href = selectlist.options[myindex].value;
}
</SCRIPT>
<FORM>
<SELECT NAME="myOption" onChange="sufto (this.name">
<OPTION VALUE="local.htm">Local Page
<OPTION VALUE="http://www.somewhere.com/">Remote Page
</SELECT>
