Opening and Filling New Windows

The code below successfully open a blank new Window, the OpenWin function is
held in a separate file and I use it successfully to open windows elsewhere
on my site. However the window is completely blank and "about:blank -
Microsoft Internet explorer" appears in it's title bar. The new window
corresponds to the sizes I enter in the OpenWin function, so this must be
working.

What I want is for a PDF file, based on the user's selection to be displayed
in this new window. Can anyone see from the code below why this is not
happening?

<table>
<tr>
<form name=Downloads method=POST action=Choice.asp target=TestWin>
<td>
<Select size="3" Name=Download onchange=OpenWin("TestWin",720,600)>
<option value="1">Download1
<option value="2">Download2
<option value="3">Download3
<option value="4">Download4
</Select>
</td>
</form>
</tr>
</table>

This is the body of Choice.asp, which is in the same directory as the
calling page above:

<body>
<%
Select Case Request("Download")
Case 1
Response.Redirect ("Download1.pdf")
Case 2
Response.Redirect ("Download2.pdf")
Case 3
Response.Redirect ("Download3.pdf")
Case 4
Response.Redirect ("Download4.pdf")
End select
%>
</body>

All the PDF are in the same directory.

When I manually enter a URL ....{path}/Choice.asp?Download=1, then
Download1.pdf appears in the window.

Can anyone assist... this has been driving me crazy!!!!!

This is a client-side question, which would best be addressed in a
group dealing with client-side scripting. Try
microsoft.public.scripting.jscript.

What happens if you close the option tags?

Have you tried to response.write the contents of the form in Choice.asp?

Why is the FORM tag inside of the TR tag instead of the TD tag?
Does the OpenWin function submit the form? Nothing in the code below does
that.

Oh hold on... try this:

Select Case cint(Request("Download"))
