the original creator of this script is unknown, however, if it happens to be you, please contact me and i’ll credit you rightaway.

Scenario

Create a dropdown menu that, when an option is selected, will launch a new window that opens up the specified link.

Solution

step1

Insert this code into <head> and </head> of your html document:
<script language="javascript"> function jump(form) { var myindex=form.menu.selectedIndex if (form.menu.options[myindex].value != "0") { window.open(form.menu.options[myindex].value, target="_blank"); } } //--> </script>

step2

and this is the code that you put in your <body>.

<form> <select name="menu" onchange="jump(this.form)"> <option selected>!!! LINKS !!!</option> <option value="http://google.com/">GOOGLE</option> <option value="http://yahoo.com/">YAHOO</option> <option value="http://bbc.co.uk/">BBC NEWS</option> <option value="http://cnn.com/">CNN NEWS</option> <option value="http://msn.com/">MSN</option> </select> </form>

change the URLs and linking names to your own. add more lines if needed.
text within <option selected> and </option> is the line that will be displayed/first selected when the page is loaded.
