Here is some HTML code:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<script type="text/javascript" src="script.js">
</script>
</head>
<body bgcolor="#FFFFCC">
<center>
<form>
<select id="newLocation">
<option value="1.jpg">index</option>
<option value="script.js">posts</option>
<option value="2.jpg" selected="selected">blog</option>
</select>
</form>
And here is some JavaScript code:
window.onload = startInit;
function startInit() {
document.getElementById("newLocation").selectedIndex = 0;
document.getElementById("newLocation").onchange = jumpPage;
}
function jumpPage() {
var newLoc = document.getElementById("newLocation");// What does this statement return ?
var newPage = newLoc.options[newLoc.getSelectedIndex].value;
if(newPage != "")
window.location = newPage;
}
Why isn't the page changing when I select an option from the combo box? Also, what does
document.getElementById("newLocation");
