Simple Code Help, Please.

[~ The 34 Year Buzz!!]

Hi,

Most of this code (below) is a simple jump menu example. When I add links with a target=_blank...

<option value="http://www.domain.com" target="_blank">Happy Holidays</option>

...The link functions, but opens in the same window. How do I modify this form code so all targets=_blank?

  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);
}

Thank you

Change MM_jumpMenu('parent',this,1) to MM_jumpMenu('blank',this,1)

If that doesn't work it should be some variation of blank in that spot.
