I have the following javascript for a drop down menu:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

<form name="fedagency" >
<select name="agency" size="1" style="background-color:#FFFFD7" onChange="displaydesc(document.fedagency.agency.selectedIndex)">


<option selected value="http://www.usda.gov/" target="newwin">Department of Agriculture </option>
<option selected value="http://www.state.gov/" target="newwin">Department of State </option>
</select>
<input type="button" value="Go"
onClick="jumptolink(document.fedagency.agency.selectedIndex)"><br>
<span id="descriptions" align="left" style="font:italic 13px Arial">
</span>
</form>

<script>


function jumptolink(what){
var selectedopt=document.fedagency.agency.options[what]
if (document.getElementById && selectedopt.getAttribute("target")=="newwin")
window.open(selectedopt.value)
else
window.location=selectedopt.value
}

document.fedagency.agency.options[0].selected=true
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

I would like to display two of these on my page - what do I need to change in the code so the page will recognize two different drop-down menus??

I've tried changing a few things but it causes both menus to not work right.

Help

Well you know its javascript, as you mentioned that in the subject, so why haven't you posted this in the javascript forum? :confused:
