Bob,

It might be that each option value should contain a valid URL, including the
"http://" prefix. However, it looks like this code snippet is incomplete.
You might go back to where you got it and see what else you should be
including. For example try pasting the following code into your insert HTML
code fragment and previewing it:

--------

<script language="JavaScript">
function goToPage(url)
{
if (url != "")
{
window.open(url);
}
}
</script>

<form name="dropdown">
<label>Search <u>E</u>ngines</label>
<select name="list" accesskey="E">
<option selected>Please select one</option>
<option value="http://search.msn.com/">MSN Search</option>
<option value="http://www.google.com/">Google</option>
<option value="http://www.search.com/">Search.com</option>
<option value="http://www.dogpile.com/">Dogpile</option>
</select>
<button onclick="goToPage(document.dropdown.list.options(
document.dropdown.list.selectedIndex).value)">Go</button>
</form>
