Javascript To Open PDF From Select Option Options

[joehesse]

Hi,
I have the following in my html file: The file was generated from php on the server.

<select id="MyFiles">
<option value='dir/file1.pdf'>file1</option>
<option value='dir/file2.pdf'>file2</option>
<option value='dir/file3.pdf'>file3</option>
</select>

In the above, "dir" is a folder above the html server root directory.
When the user clicks on a row I would like the pdf to open in a separate tab. What jquery or javascript do I need to do this?

Thank you,
Joe
