I want to create a dropdown menu in Dreamweaver MX that will allow the user to make
a selection and then using the on-change command, have a 500 x 350
window pop up. The only thing that I can figure out how to do is
attach the popup behavior directly to the dropdown menu, but I can't
seem to get it to work with the individual options.

I looked at the extensions and checked out ProjectIIV's Jump Menu Magic,
but that doesn't allow you to configure the size of the window.

Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

Here's the DW MX code (which doesn't do what I want it to do):

<pre id=code><font face=courier size=2 id=code>

&lt;form name="form2" method="post" action=""&gt;
&lt;select name="select" onChange="MM_openBrWindow('inside.html','inside','width=500,height=350')"&gt;
&lt;option value="inside.html"&gt;Inside&lt;/option&gt;
&lt;option value="outside.html"&gt;Outside&lt;/option&gt;
&lt;option value="inbetween.html"&gt;In Between&lt;/option&gt;
&lt;/select&gt;
&lt;/form&gt;

</font id=code></pre id=code>

I think your best bet would be to write a custom wrapper function for the popup window trigger and let that query the dropdown list first and then feed the lists value to the popup window function.

Eg. something like:
<pre id=code><font face=courier size=2 id=code>
function showWindowFromList() {
var sFile = document.yourForm.yourList.value;
MM_openBrWindow(sFile ,'inside','width=500,height=350')
}
</font id=code></pre id=code>

Put this custom function in a script block in the HEAD section of your page and trigger this function on the onChange event of the list instead of MM_openBrWindow.

Hope this helps.

Thank you for the advise Marja! I tried using your code and it didn't work, but it has got me thinking about how to do it. I'll probably wind up writing a custom script (what I should have done in the first place) or maybe find some code in the net.

I also checked out your site. Very nice and you have made some great extensions. I will look forward to seeing your new layers extension.

Thanks again!
