Further to my earlier post, I've found something that does partly what
I'm doing, but there are two issues:
1) There is an error in the script. Being a Javascript newbie, I've no
idea what the problem is.
2) I don't know how to re-program the script so that it opens up a url
depending on the choices made.
Here is the code (thanks Google!), I'd appreciate any help the you can
give.
