Hi guys
Actually when i was creating a web site , struck with a problem . In the bellow code , i want to direct to a web page when i select an option from the given drop down list . The code is working properly . But the problem is that the required web page is opening in a new tab . What we have to do when we want to do this with in the same tab ( should consider the browser compatibility. ) . The sample code on which i am working is

<html>
<head>
 
 
 
</head>
<body>
 
<form >
<select name="select" onChange="window.open
 
(this.options[this.selectedIndex].value,'_blank')">
<option value="https://www.msn.com/ ">MSN</option>
<option value="https://www.amazon.com/
 
">Amazon</option>
<option value="https://www.google.com/
 
">Google</option>
</select>
</form>
 
 
</body>
</html>

Remove this:
```
'_blank'
```
PS: if you have freedom with your code, try using learning and using jQuery. Your html code will be clutter free more awesome 😀

Use window.location instead of window.open.

Replace

onChange="window.open
 
(this.options[this.selectedIndex].value,'_blank')"

With

onChange="window.location=this.options[this.selectedIndex].value"
