alert(html);

And see what it is. It may not be what you think it is.

Hi, Randy
myurl variable doesn't work. it shows myurl instead of text in it
so I escaped properly:
var myurl = '\"http://www.example.com/url.php?dummy="';

with no luck

alert shows

<select name='name_sel' onchange='My_Function(myurl +
this.form.formnumber.options[this.form.name_sel.options.selectedIndex].value ,My_function_2 ,
parameter3)'>
don't know what to do...
Thanks a lot!

I've also tried this
<select name='name_sel' onchange='My_Function(\"http://www.example.com/
url.php?dummy=\"' +
this.form.formnumber.options.name_sel[selectedIndex].value ,My_function_2 ,
parameter3)'>

no luck...

Are breaking a string literal up on multiple lines??

Or is that your NNTP posting client wrapping lines?

If the former, your error is obvious, and you need to understand how to
continue a string literal on multiple lines.

Hi,
I know how to break the lines, that are wrapping lines
