Instead, you have to use an onchange handler in the SELECT, like this:
<html>
<head>
<script>
function fAlertA() { alert(‘A’); }
function fAlertB() { alert(‘B’); }
function fHandleActionSelection(nSelect)
{
var iOptionIndex = nSelect.selectedIndex;
if (iOptionIndex > 0) { //skip over ‘Actions’
var sFnName = nSelect.options[iOptionIndex].value;
eval(sFnName+”()”);
}
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<select onchange=”fHandleActionSelection(this)”>
<option>Actions</option>
<option value=”fAlertA”>a</option>
<option value=”fAlertB”>b</option>
</select>
</body>
</html>
