Hi! can anyone help me here,whats wrong with the codes below.I want to direct user to another page tryn2.html or tryn3.html depending on the selection user made in the select field.The window.location() function doesn't work the way it should be

html>
<head><title>clr</title>
<script type="text/javascript">
function validate_form ( ){
if ( document.myform.nam.selectedIndex == 1 )
{
var valid=confirm ( "Are u sure?" );
if(valid==true){

window.location=("tryn2.html");

}else{
window.location=('tryn3.html');
}
}
}
</script>
</head>
<body>

<form name="myform" onSubmit="return validate_form ( );">
<select name="nam">
<option>Select one..</option>
<option>Delete</option>
<option>George</option>
</select>
<input type="submit" value="submit">

There's no need for the parentheses after window.location.

Use
window.location = 'tryn2.html'

instead of
window.location = ('tryn2.html')

try this

<html>
<head><title>clr</title>
<script type="text/javascript">
function validate_form(){
if ( document.myform.nam.selectedIndex == 1 )
{
var valid=confirm ( "Are u sure?" );
if(valid==true){

window.location = "tryn2.html" ;

}else{
window.location = "tryn3.html" ;
}
}
}
</script>
</head>
<body>

<form name="myform" onSubmit="validate_form(); return false;">
<select name="nam">
<option>Select one..</option>
<option>Delete</option>
<option>George</option>
</select>
<input type="submit" value="submit">
</form>
</body>
<html>
