It seemed to be working for me. One suggestion, whem you click on your documents etc, it tries to open them in the frame. I would suggest you use:

onclick="FP_openNewWindow('400', '400', false, false, false, false, true, true, 'Resume', /*href*/'rezame2k4.pdf')">PDF</a> so a seperate window opens with the docs etc.

dood, i'm so perplexed trying to understand you.

i'm not trying to target a popup... isn't that what that does? cuz i just want to target a frame, in a frameset, called "rezaContent" using a drop down select form

Here, here. This one does not have a button, just loads onChange. To change a different frame, replace 'location.href=' with 'parent.theFrameNametoChange.location='

Code:

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="javascript">

function LinkUp()
{
var number = document.DropDown.DDlinks.selectedIndex;
location.href = document.DropDown.DDlinks.options[number].value;
}
</SCRIPT>

<FORM NAME="DropDown">
<SELECT NAME="DDlinks" onChange="LinkUp(this.form)" >
<OPTION SELECTED>Choose a Link
<OPTION VALUE="scripttip1.html"> Page One
<OPTION VALUE="scripttip2.html"> Page Two
<OPTION VALUE="scripttip3.html"> Page Three
</SELECT>

</FORM>
