Jump Menu Problem

Jump Menu Problem

Hello, I'm trying to make a jump menu using this selectboxes plugin but am having trouble getting it to work. Still a novice to jQuery... Any thoughts? The code:

  1. <head>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="/js/jquery-1.4.2.min.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="/js/jquery.selectboxes.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

  2. <script type="text/javascript">
    <!--
    //on page load
    $(document).ready(function() {
        $(".jumpmenu").change(function() {
            var val = $(this).selectedValues();
            if (val != '') {
                location.href=val;
            }
        });
    });
    -->
    </script>
    </head>















  3. <body>
    <select class="jumpmenu" name="jumpmenu">
        <option value="#">SELECT</option>
        <option value="page1.html">page1</option>
        <option value="page2.html">page2</option>
    </select>
    </body>
