I can't seem to get an "onclick" to work right when placed inside a <option> tag in the following scenario.
(I use classic asp, VBScript, and javascript.)
I want to populate 2 dropdowns (list boxes) with items (file names with extendion, e.g., address.asp, contact.asp, etc.) from a SQLsever db inside a .asp file. I then want the user to click on an item in either listbox and to then programmatically open the selected .asp in a new browser window.
The following code does the db Select's ok and does populate the 2 listboxes with the fielnames but when I click an item in a listbox I can't seem to get it to "open" the selected .asp. Here's the code:
