hey everybody
i have a dropdown list opening a window, ie
<SELECT onchange=openwindow()..>
<OPTION value=....
<..choice1..>
<..choice2..>
when clicking on an choice
if i clear this window, and click again
on the same choice, nothing happens
i must click another choice, and then
come back on the first, which runs
any medicine to allow a 2nd click on the same choice ?
thnx a lot
sorry for my english

You could deselect the option
<select onchange="openwindow(); this.selectedIndex = -1;"
that way the user has to select the option again and the browsers
recognizes a change that triggers onchange.

And people navigating with a keyboard will be completely lost, not
just highly annoyed as by the original solution.
Don't overuse the onchange event on selectboxes, some people will have
to go through several choises before they reach the one they want.

thnx a lot for your quick answer, Martin,
and congratulations, it runs
(the name inside the dropdown-box
is blank the 2nd time, but it seems a small problem)
best regards

when using mouse only, the solution proposed by Martin seems ok for me
why do you use keyboard ? quicker ? mouse broken ?

With Netscape 6/7 and with Opera 7 you could use onclick instead of
onchange and do the following
<html>
<head>
<title>select and onclick</title>
<script type="text/javascript">
function showSelectedOption (select, evt) {
if (select != evt.target) {
var selectedOption = select.options[select.selectedIndex];
if (selectedOption) {
alert(selectedOption.text + '; ' + selectedOption.value);
}
}
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<p>
<select onclick="showSelectedOption(this, event);">
<option value="http://www.kibo.com/">Visit GOD</option>
<option value="http://www.lancearmstrong.com/">Visit the bike GOD</option>
</select>
</p>
</body>
</html>
It doesn't work with IE however
IE is the target for my pages,
so I prefer your 1st solution (index=-1)
thnx again, Martin

How about you are blind or partially sighted, and you use a screenreader to
access the web page, controlling it via the keyboard?

I don't, but there are people who do. Some because they like it
better, others because they have a physical condition that prevents
them from using a mouse.

Ever tried filling out forms with a mouse? I can navigate the form quicker, and
fill it out quicker, with my keyboard than I can my mouse. Not to mention, when
I encounter a webpage that has dates in select lists, and I have to choose my
birthday, it gets annoying to scroll to the bottom to find december, then
scroll to near the bottom to find 22, then scroll almost to the bottom to find
1966. All of which I can do a lot quicker with my keyboard than my mouse. There
is more to keyboard navigation than just disabilities.
