Okay, try this:

<html>
<head>
	<title>Untitled</title>
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
function openWin() {
  var newURL=document.nav.url.options[document.nav.url.selectedIndex].value;
  window.open(newURL,'','height=200,width=150,resizeable=1');

}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form name="nav">
<select name="url" onChange="openWin()">
  <option value="Hi">Hi</option>
  <option value="Hello">Hello</option>
</select>
</form>
</body>
</html>
