help on parent.location problem under IE and netscape

[Shaoyong Wang]

I used php to generate the following html:

....

<meta content="text/javascript" name=Author
http-equiv="Content-Script-Type">

....
<option value="Words and Definitions" onClick="parent.location='#Words
and Definitions'">Words and Definitions</option>

.....

<a name="Words and Definitions">Words and Definitions</a>

....

What I want here is to let the user jump to the particular position
(using <a name=".."></a>, as shown) when choosing an item from drop-down
list (using <option value=...>, as shown).

The above html works well under netscape. It doesn't work under IE. Any
suggestions on how to make it work under both?

Thanks.

IE doesn't support onClick of select elements.
You have to use onChange. Should work in both browsers.

<select onChange='parent.location=this.options
[this.selectedIndex].value;'>
<option value='#Words And Definitions'>Words And Definitions</option>
