When you select using something like $("stuff"), jquery looks for a <stuff>
tag, which oviously doesnt exist. To search by class, you use $(".stuff"),
and to search by ID you use $("#stuff").
In your case, you wanted to search for a select by name, so you would do
$("[EMAIL PROTECTED]'stuff']")
Or, like you just did, using IDs makes the code alot quicker.

Thank you for your help. But your code doesn't work here. I changed to
use id and suddenly everything worked. Here is the new code

Select one:
<select id="games">
<option selected="true">games/test1.sgf</option>
<option>games/test2.sgf</option>
<option>games/test4.sgf</option>
</select>
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
openGame();
$("#games").change(openGame);
