DropDownList has text describing links and url's.
What I want to do is have the DropDownList1.S electedIndexCha nged event
perform a hyperlink to the Value in the control at the selected index
position.
I've looked high and low for an example of this under ASP.NET 2.0 but
have yet to find any thing close. What VB function do I use in the code
behind page event to trigger the lauch of a new instance of the browser
to the url specified in the index value of the DropDownList control?
I believe you will need to do this in javascript on the client side. The
server can not spawn a new instance of the browser.
