jQuery Forum

I have a select list with some options opening URLs in a new window and I use the below jQuery:

1.     <script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.9.1/jquery.min.js"></script>

The script for linking the options of the select list is the following:

1.     <script type="text/javascript">
2.       $(document).ready(function() {
3.       $('.openSelect').change(function(){
4.         var selectedValue=$(this).val();
5.           if (selectedValue.match(/http/)) {
6.            var open = window.open($(this).val(),'_blank');
7.            if (open == null || typeof(open)=='undefined'){
8.            alert("Please turn off pop-up blocker and reload this page to visit:  " + selectedValue);
9.            }
10.      }
11.     });
12.     });
13.     </script>

I’m trying to implement the plug-in Linkselect from Giva Labs to fix the width problem with IE6, 7 and 8 (dropdown width not adjusting to content) but it’s not working.

My select tag is the following

1.     <select class="openSelect" style="width:px; color:#0066ff;">

so I added the the following in the head:

1.     <script type="text/javascript" src="js/jquery.linkselect.min.js"></script>
2.     <script type="text/javascript" src="js/jquery.bgiframe.js"></script>
3.     <link type="text/css" href="css/jquery.linkselect.css" rel="stylesheet" media="all" />

and added $('.select.openSelect').openSelect(); to my script as below:

1.     <script type="text/javascript">
2.     $(document).ready(function() {
3.      $('.select.openSelect').openSelect();
4.       $('.openSelect').change(function(){
5.       var selectedValue=$(this).val();
6.       if (selectedValue.match(/http/)) {
7.            var open = window.open($(this).val(),'_blank');
8.            if (open == null || typeof(open)=='undefined'){
9.            alert("Please turn off pop-up blocker and reload this page to visit:  " + selectedValue);
10.            }
11.          }
12.       });
13.     });
14.     </script>

Thanks
