OK, here's the code:

function surfto (selectlist) {
var myindex=selectlist.selectedIndex;
window.open (selectlist.options[myindex].value, target="Homepage");}

We're working a three-frame set. One's a static toolbar, two's a contents drop-down menu, three's named Homepage and carries the main information.

Works great, until we put an option in the list that loads an external link. We can't get it to go to the top of the browser and break out of our own frameset.

If I try to put a TARGET="_top" in the <OPTION> tag, the HTML editor flags it as improper and the function above ignores it.

Thanks,

Kevin
