The issue is not because of the tags, in fact, the tags are erroneous due to the deprecated language attribute on the script tag.

@andy,

The passed argument on your onchange event is unnecessary, which could be rectified into:

Code: Select all: <select name="jumpmenu" onchange ="jumpto (this.value)">

Aside from that, replace your script with:

Code: Select all: <script type="text/javascript"> function jumpto(x) { location.href=x; } </script>

Hope that helps.
