Form drop down help (null values)

[mark]

I'm trying to make a drop down menu, when you select a few options I want it
to do *nothing* at all, null. The following works perfectly in IE6, but it
doesn't seem to worm in Opera 6 and IE5. When I select the valued options,
then do nothing too. Can anyone please have a quick look @ this code and
help me out a little :


<form method="post" action="#">
<select name="dropdown" onChange="javascript:if (this.value !=
0){location.href(this.value)};">
<option value="">Please Choose...</option>
<option value="">~~~~~~~~~~~~~~</option>
<option value="1.php">Oranges</option>
<option value="2.php">Apples</option>
<option value=""></option>
</select>
</form>

Hi!

Use something like

if (this.options[this.selectedIndex].value) {location.href =
this.options[this.selectedIndex].value}

Here "selectedIndex" is # of selceted 'option'.
