Retrieving Documents Options

[hankins27]

Please excuse if this is posting in the wrong area...

I'm looking for some advice on presenting the users with a drop-down list, allowing them to only choose one item, and then retrieving a pdf document based on their selection.

The documents are stored on the web server. This works fine for me (on a mac), unfortunately for most of the users (pc) it does not work. Regardless of what they select, it pulls up the document for the first item on the list.

Any help is greatly appreciated!!!!

****Here is the code*****
<form name="newsletterselect" action="xfer.php" method="GET"><div align="center">
<span class="style2">Select a newsletter from the drop-down list ...
<select name="xfer" size="1" onmouseup= "location = '' + this.options[this.selectedIndex ].value;">
<option value="Newsletters/alabama.pdf">Alabama</option>
<option value="Newsletters/alaska.pdf">Alaska</option>
<option value="Newsletters/arkansas.pdf">arkansas</option>
.
. (you get what the rest of the options look like)
.
<option value="Newsletters/wyoming.pdf">wyoming</option>
</select>
</span>
<noscript><input type="submit" value="Go!" /></noscript>
</div>
</form>

Use onchange instead of onmouseup. Also, what's the purpose of the empty quote in the beginning of the location value?

CODE

location = '' + this.options[this.selectedIndex ].value;

If I don't miss something, this should be enough.

CODE

location = this.options[this.selectedIndex].value;

BTW JavaScript is all about browsers, not OS.
