i want only one select window [the drop down menus] but for different options to open in different areas [new, in an iframe, etc]

so i thought i'd try this for an image.

and in the body:
<FORM NAME="form1">
<SELECT NAME="link" onChange="artto(this.form)" class="px9black" style="width: 155px">
<option selected>art / photo</option>
<option value="javascript:displayWindow('a1.jpg',270,240)">hush</option>
</select>
</form>

only it doesn't work. is there a way of doing this without having multiple select windows? - one for each area i want.

here's a link for it:

it won't let me post the script for the header.

It may just be me...I seem to be having difficulty understanding people's questions today. But I don't really get what you're trying to do. I assume you mean that you have one drop down list, and depending on the selected value, you may want an image to appear in a new window, in a different frame, or whatever.

If this is the case, then you need to define a function that finds out the value of the menu and does the appropriate action. Then you would make this function run "onChange" (as you have it above)

In other words, don't have the javascript in the OPTION tags...Just have a function figure out what the value is and do the appropriate action.

I won't actually write any example code unless I get some confirmation that this is what you want to do. Feel free to post back with any clarifications.

yes i want it to appear in a new window, which i can do. the problem is i want the window to be resized depending on the option selected hence the display window function i have. but if i do it in the main script it would be set the same size for all the options and if i do it in the options [call the javascript which you said i can't] it doesn't work...
