Multiple DropDown/Forms not working 1

KOVMoe · Nov 3, 2004

As a simple minded programmer, I wrote this code for multiple drop down boxes. It works, for a while The user can go to 2 seperate locations then the code just stops working. Here is the code, Does anyone see what I have screwed up?

<head>
<script language="JavaScript">
function jumptolink1(what){
var selectedopt=document.weblinks1.weblinks1.options[what]
if (document.getElementById && selectedopt.getAttribute("target")=="newwin")
window.open(selectedopt.value)
else
window.location=selectedopt.value
}
</script>
<script language="JavaScript">
function jumptolink2(what){
var selectedopt=document.weblinks2.weblinks2.options[what]
if (document.getElementById && selectedopt.getAttribute("target")=="newwin")
window.open(selectedopt.value)
else
window.location=selectedopt.value
}
</script>
<script language="JavaScript">
function jumptolink3(what){
var selectedopt=document.weblinks3.weblinks3.options[what]
if (document.getElementById && selectedopt.getAttribute("target")=="newwin")
window.open(selectedopt.value)
else
window.location=selectedopt.value
}
</script>
<script language="JavaScript">
function jumptolink4(what){
var selectedopt=document.weblinks4.weblinks4.options[what]
if (document.getElementById && selectedopt.getAttribute("target")=="newwin")
window.open(selectedopt.value)
else
window.location=selectedopt.value
}
</script>

<script language="JavaScript">
function jumptolink5(what){
var selectedopt=document.weblinks5.weblinks5.options[what]
if (document.getElementById && selectedopt.getAttribute("target")=="newwin")
window.open(selectedopt.value)
else
window.location=selectedopt.value
}
</script>
<script language="JavaScript">
function jumptolink6(what){
var selectedopt=document.weblinks6.weblinks6.options[what]
if (document.getElementById && selectedopt.getAttribute("target")=="newwin")
window.open(selectedopt.value)
else
window.location=selectedopt.value
}
</script>
<script language="JavaScript">
function jumptolink7(what){
var selectedopt=document.weblinks7.weblinks7.options[what]
if (document.getElementById && selectedopt.getAttribute("target")=="newwin")
window.open(selectedopt.value)
else
window.location=selectedopt.value
}
</script>
<script language="JavaScript">
function jumptolink8(what){
var selectedopt=document.weblinks8.weblinks8.options[what]
if (document.getElementById && selectedopt.getAttribute("target")=="newwin")

Hi there...

I've optimized your page a bit, I hope it helps you out

1) You can make all that code into one function, as below:

Code:

<script language="JavaScript">
<!--

function jumpToLink(s) {
    var the_url = s.options[s.selectedIndex].value;
	document.location = the_url;
}

-->
</script>

2) You only need one form. Place the opening form tag outside of your <table> tag and close it outside your </table> tag. Get rid of all the other form tags.

3) The way you'd call this new function is like this (for each select box):

Code:

...
<input type="button" value="Go" onClick="jumpToLink(this.form.weblinks1);" /><br />
...
<input type="button" value="Go" onClick="jumpToLink(this.form.weblinks2);" /><br />
...
<input type="button" value="Go" onClick="jumpToLink(this.form.weblinks3);" /><br />
...
<input type="button" value="Go" onClick="jumpToLink(this.form.weblinks4);" /><br />
