In non-IE except Google Chrome, we can call functions from inside a select box by putting things like the following in the options: <option value="bla" onclick="some_function()"></option> <option value="bla" onclick="window.open('http://www.google.com')"></option> etc. This is not possible in IE and Google Chrome.

While surfing on the Internet I found this page on how to pass data from one page to another.

The title overstates the point. Both these scripts in their latest versions are pretty darn good as are many of the other Lightbox type scripts out there (see end for two others or Google Lightbox for more, though not all are as good as those mentioned here, many including the original Lightbox mentioned in the title of this blog entry are).
