I have html SELECT to open pages in new tab
my SELECT here:

<select onchange="window.open(this.options[this.selectedIndex].value,'newWindow')">
       <option value="0">select</option>
       <option value="Home.aspx">home</option>
       <option value="http://wwww.facebook.com">FaceBook</option>
</select>

my list works fine except Safari. I tried it in Android and still works fine. I found this code for Safari:

<script type="text/javascript">
    if (/Android|webOS|iPhone|iPod|Blackberry|Windows Phone/i.test(navigator.userAgent)) {
        var onchange = ["if ($(this).val()!=''){"];
        onchange.push("    var popup=window.open($(this).val());");
        onchange.push("    if (!popup||typeof(popup)==='undefined'){");
        onchange.push("        window.location = $(this).val();");
        onchange.push("    }");
        onchange.push("}");
        $('#listBoxes select').each(function () {
            $(this).attr("onchange", onchange.join(''));
        })
    }
</script>

but still not working in Safari.
Any ideas?

Thank you

Are you talking about Safari (for OS X / Windows) or Mobile Safari (for iOS)? – Quentin Apr 17 '14 at 14:14
Why in the world are you building a function as a string? – epascarello Apr 17 '14 at 14:15
@Quentin Safari for OSX / Windows), but my target is iOS as well. – Sam Apr 17 '14 at 14:17
@epascarello, do you mean javascript function? to be honest I just copied it from the web after a lot of search. – Sam Apr 17 '14 at 14:18

Basically it is a pop up blocker that is blocking it. – epascarello Apr 17 '14 at 14:19
