quicklink menu

A

Andre

Hi everyone
I have created a quick menu with a go button to help visitors find items in
a page easier. My problem is that it opens everytime in a new window and I
would like it to stay on the same page but just follow the bookmarks .. like
a normal hyperlink pointing to a bookmark would.
I am not good with programming. I tried to change the onclick values but am
stuck
Thanks in advance

here is the code

<p align="center"><b><i><font color="#683808">Quick Find:</font></i> </b>
<select id="Choice" style="color: #683808; font-family:Georgia;
font-size:8pt; font-style:italic" size="1" name="ShoppingSelect">
<option>Select a Catagory</option>
<option value="c:\wwwroot\swakop3\shopping.htm#clothing">Clothing,
boutique's, outfitters
</option>
<option value="c:\wwwroot\swakop3\shopping.htm#realestate">Real Estate,
Property
</option>
<option value="c:\wwwroot\swakop3\shopping.htm#giftscraftscurio">Gifts,

<option value="c:\wwwroot\swakop3\shopping.htm#coffeeshop">Coffee Shops,

<option href="c:\wwwrooswakop3\shopping.htm#jewellers">Jewelery and art

</select>
<input type="button" value="Go"
onclick="window.open(Choice.options[Choice.selectedIndex].value)"
style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 8pt; color: #683808; font-style:

1) your absolute links are to a disc based location on your PC
As in
<option value="c:\wwwroot\swakop3\shopping.htm#clothing">Clothing, boutique's, outfitters </option>
They should be to relative page links in your site
<option value="shopping.htm#clothing">Clothing, boutique's, outfitters </option>

2) Check and make sure you don't have a <base ref='''"> tag in code view
- delete it

Hi Stefan... I changed the option values and checked for any <base ref> in
the code but there is none on the entire page...
this piece of code i suspect might be the problem, especialy the
"window.open" part isn't that what keeps opening up a new window everytime ?
instead of just scrolling down to the bookmark ?
Thanks for the fast response

<input type="button" value="Go"
onclick="window.open(Choice.options[Choice.selectedIndex].value)"
style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 8pt; color: #683808; font-style:
italic">

You are right
You need a onClick="location=
instead of a onclick="window.open

You can use this page to generate a correct script
