HTML tag:

<form name="navform" action="JavaScript:formHandler();">


JS Function definition:

  function formHandler()
  {
	var URL = navform.site.options[navform.site.selectedIndex].value;
	window.top.location.href = URL;
   }


Firefox 3.3.13 errors out on the JS function. Error console reports that navform is not defined. However, previous version of Firefox executed form. IE 7, IE 8 (current release level) execute form function without any errors.

Try posting at the Web Development / Standards Evangelism forum at MozillaZine. The helpers over there are more knowledgeable about web page development issues with Firefox.

Thanks for making time to reply--but that does not conform to the current level of JS syntax--JS error on page load.

Thank you for the suggestion. I may re-write navigation script in future. For now, IE default browser--problem solved.
