help with two drop down menus

[gcapp]

I am trying to get two separate drop down menus to work but i am having problems.

I have this code for the first menu:

<form name="form1" >
<select name="agency" size="1" style="background-color:#FFFFD7" onChange="displaydesc(document.form1.agency.selectedIndex)">


<option selected value="http://www.usda.gov/" target="newwin">Department of Agriculture </option>
<option selected value="http://www.state.gov/" target="newwin">Department of State </option>

</select>
<input type="button" value="Go"
onClick="jumptolink(document.form1.agency.selectedIndex)"><br>
<span id="descriptions" align="left" style="font:italic 13px Arial">
</span>
</form>

<script>




function jumptolink(what){
var selectedopt=document.form1.agency.options[what]
if (document.getElementById && selectedopt.getAttribute("target")=="newwin")
window.open(selectedopt.value)
else
window.location=selectedopt.value
}

document.form1.agency.options[0].selected=true

-------------------------------------------------------------------

however, if i try to put the same code at the bottom of my page and chnage the form name to say "form2", it will not work correctly.

Can some help me to get two drop downs to work on the same page????

Hi,

It could be a layout problem. Could I see the whole page where you have tried it at the bottom, possibly a link?

<form name="hide_form" >
<img src="help_btn.gif" onClick="JavaScript:win()" height="40" width="40">
</form>


i use smarty... and php...
it works fine on Mozilla... the problem withIE is that the child window doesn't close ... it just loose the focus...

maybe IE doesn't support onBlur

thank you..
