Hey all,

I’ve got a combobox that I’d like to have labels in, that like to full URLs… but I’m not having much luck. This is the code I’m using:

```auto
 
// 1
mylist.addItem("Google","www.google.com");
mylist.addItem("Yahoo","www.yahoo.com");
mylist.addItem("MSN","www.msn.com");
// 2
function displayDetails(c){
 getURL("[http://"+c.target.data](http://%22+c.target.data/), "_blank");
 trace("Value changed to " + c.target.data);
}
// 3
mylist.setChangeHandler("displayDetails");

```

The labels appear but the links won’t go through… any idea?
