Hi, he is using javascript but in a wrongly matter...

I recently answered a post concerning this: I have posted it in my blog. You can take a look on how I did it here:

I would use javascript. In the SELECT NAME tag, just make it point to your javascript function. onChange = javascript:openWindow();>

Then create a javascript function called openWindow(). You can also write the code in there to open a new window. But before you do that, use the "if" statement to open only certain links with the new window.

if (document.form.selectURL1.value = "Job Definition")
then put code to open in same window
else
open in new window

You can just force this to happen in your javascript.
