Previously I have used a form with links in to create a drop down menu
that users can choose a file from to download. This has been working fine
up until recently when it suddenly stopped working for no apparent reason.
I beleive this to be caused by something being changed with wordpress. See
code below:
{{{
<form style="clear: both; line-height: 25px; height: 25px; vertical-align:
top; margin-bottom: 15px;" onsubmit="open(this.url.value,'','');return
false;">
<div style="float: left; display: inline; margin-right: 5px; width: 300px;
line-line-height: 25px; height: 25px;"><select style="width: 300px;
padding: 1px;" name="url"><option value="">Download iPhone
firmwares</option>
<option value="">– – – – – –

Previously, upon clicking the download button, the link would open
immediately in a new tab. Now though, a link similar to the one below
opens in the same tab (the link in the menu is just added onto the current
page URL).

I fairly sure this is an issue with wordpress itself as nothing else has
been changed. If you need any other information please let me know. I
really need this solved as soon as possible so any help would be
appriciated.

Also worth mentioning that this code has always been broken by wordpress
if you open the visual view, but it works if you only open the page in
text view.
