Open select link in a new window
<p>I have an unordered list that is being converted into a select list with jQuery.  Code I am using is pasted below:</p>

<pre><code>$("&lt;select /&gt;").appendTo(".region .links");
// Create default option "Go to..."
$("&lt;option /&gt;", {
    "selected": "selected",
        "value": "",
        "text": "Links"
}).appendTo(".links select");
$(".links .menu li a").each(function () {
    var el = $(this);
    $("&lt;option /&gt;", {
        "value": el.attr("href"),
            "text": el.text()
    }).appendTo(".region select");
});
$(".region select").change(function () {
    window.location = $(this).find("option:selected").val();
});
</code></pre>

<p>This code then generates the following:</p>

<pre><code>&lt;select&gt;
&lt;option selected="selected" value=""&gt;Links&lt;/option&gt;
&lt;option value="http://www.linkvalue.com"&gt;Link1&lt;/option&gt;
&lt;option value="http://www.linkvalue2.com"&gt;Link2&lt;/option&gt;
&lt;/select&gt;
</code></pre>

<p>I need to change javascript so that all links open in  new window. How would i go about it?</p>
