I could be wrong, but I believe...
onClick="newWindow(form.menu[form.menu.selectedIndex].value);"
...is what you want.

i have been searching the internet for hours and cannot find a solution to this. anyone good with javascript?
this code...
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript"> function newWindow(URL) { day = new Date(); id = day.getTime(); eval("page" + id + " = window.open(URL, '" + id + "', 'toolbar=0,scrollbars=0,location=0,statusbar=0, menubar=0,resizable=0,width=666,height=515, left = 467,top = 342.5');"); } </script>
<a href="javascript: newWindow('http://google.com')">Open the new Window</a>
...will open a new window that have everything stripped away.
i want to do this with a list/menu in a form. meaning, that the user will select one item from the list and then click a button in the form ("view") and it will then create a new browser window, on top, displaying either the file or the website that they selected.
so, if i have a form, like...
<form name="form">
<select name="menu">
<option value="http://cheese.com"; selected>CHEESE!</option>
<option value="http://love.com";>burning love</option>
<option value="http://hot.com";>hot sauce</option>
</select>
<input type="button" name="view" value="view" onClick="????????????">
</form>
...what would i need to do to get the value that the user selects from the list/menu into the button... or into the javascript... or something .... so that, when the button is clicked, it...
1. opens a new browsers window that is stripped of everything
2. loads the selected file (whether a file or a different website) in that new window
...?
anyone?
