Javascrrrrript help needed...

I have a drop down menu that loads the links automatically when an option is selected in the menu.

I'm using this line:
(form)
(select name="SiteMap" onchange="if(options[selectedIndex].value){location = options[selectedIndex].value; target=_TOP}" size="1")
(option value="http://link.com")LINK(/option)
(option value="http://link2.com")LINK 2(/option)
(/select)
(/form)

and the link opens in the same window...

now how do I go about opening the link in a new window? setting the target to _NEW or _BLANK doesn't seem to work.

replace
onchange="if(options[selectedIndex].value){location = options[selectedIndex].value; target=_TOP}" size="1")

with something like
onchange="if(options[selectedIndex].value){
window.open(location)
}" size="1")

2 secs after i posted, i decided to search google, and i found this which seems to work fine:

select onChange="PopUp=window.open('','PopUp');PopUp.loca tion=options[selectedIndex].value;"
