list menu and zip files

[idaryl]

Hello all,

my client has about 25 zipped pdf files that are date ordered and they want the user to select from the drop down list a date, (I've only shown three) then the appropriate file will be opened or downloaded.. shown is what I have so far - however I'm sure there is something I've left out - [naturally] - I'm no java guy by any means ;-(

So, any help would be appreciated.

<form name="pdfs" method="post" action="">
<select name="select" class="BodyText">
<option value="../pdfs/001.zip">Fall/Winter 2003</option>
<option value="../pdfs/002.zip">February 2003</option>
<option value="../pdfs/003.zip">September 2003</option>
</select>
</form>

let's try this,

<script>
var path="../pdfs/001.zip";

function go(uSelect){
path=uSelect;
}

function download(){
window.open(path);
}
</script>

<form name="pdfs" onSubmit="download();">
<select name="select" class="BodyText" 
onChange="go(this.options[this.selectedIndex].value);">
<option value="../pdfs/001.zip">Fall/Winter 2003</option>
<option value="../pdfs/002.zip">February 2003</option>
<option value="../pdfs/003.zip">September 2003</option>
</select>
<input type=submit value="Download">
</form>
