opening a new window from an option tag

I have a drop down menu where one of our content owners wants his link to
open a new window. They do not want to put the script in the page to break
out of the frame of the first page. They want this link to do it for them.
(Change control around here is a bit anal, it would take 2 weeks to get the
changed approved to put it on the page itself. It takes not change control
for me to change it here.) I have tried the usual target variations and
onclick but nothing works.

Does anyone have a way of opening a new window from a dropdown?

Here is an Example of the code, pretend that the virtual orientation is the
page that needs to open in a different window:
<form action="" name="leap" id="leap" target="mainwin" class="cell">
    <table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" align="LEFT"
valign="TOP">
      <tr>
        <td height="1" colspan="2" align="LEFT" valign="TOP"><img
src="spacer1.gif" width="1" height="1" hspace="0" vspace="0" border="0"
align="TOP" alt=""></td>
      </tr>
      <tr>
                <!-- label -->
        <td width="42" height="32" align="LEFT" valign="TOP"><img
src="leap.gif" hspace="0" vspace="0" border="0" align="TOP" alt="LEAP"
width="42" height="32"></td>
                <!-- selection box -->
        <td align="left" valign="middle" class="cell"><select name="GoTo"
class="cell" style="font-size: 10px" onChange="ProcessChange(this)">
            <option selected value="none">
            <option value="/hr/benefits/401k/faqs">401K
            <option value="/hr/orientation/main.asp">Virtual Orientation
            <option value="/finance/ap/xms/main.asp">XMS
          </select></td>
      </tr>
    </table>
  </form>
