Drop down links need to open new window

[bukwus]

Hi

I'm building a drop down menu and each option link needs to open a new window. Here's the code:

<form>
<select onChange="if(options[selectedIndex].value) window.location.href=(options[selectedIndex].value)">
<option>Select a Country</option>
<option value="http://www.link.com">Global</option>
etc.

I'm thinking there's extra code I need to add to the onChange, but I'm not sure what that would be. Can anyone help me with this?

Thanks

Change window.location.href= to window.open

Then it will work.

That worked perfectly. Thanks.

Change window.location.href= to window.open

Then it will work.

Change window.location.href= to window.open

Then it will work.

and window.location.href wouldn't work there without because it was pointing to an URL that wasn't listed.
