    Default Jump menu: new browser window

    I was wondering if someone knows the code that I have to implement for a jump
    menu to open a new browser window.
    On default it jumps to the new location in the same window. I would like to
    open a new window on change!

    I tried 'blank' instead of parent, but that wasn't the solution... :)

    <form name="form1" class="dropDown">
    <select name="menu1" onChange="MM_jumpMenu('parent',this,0)">
    <option selected>Read latest blog posts</option>
    <option value="http://...com">Text 1</option>
    <option value="http://...com">Text 2</option>
    <option value="http://...com">Text 3</option>
    <option value="http://...com">Text 4</option>
    </select>
    </form>

    Thanks a lot in advance! I appreciate any help...

    Some nice person has already given me the answer - Just in case someone else is
    interested, here is the solution:

    Change this
    <select name="menu1" onChange="MM_jumpMenu('parent',this,0)">

    to this
    onChange="MM_jumpMenu('window.open()',this,0)">

    I keep finding the same solution on the subject but the only problem is IE popup blocker when using 'window.open()'.
