Might be pop-up blocker, preventing new window opening.

There is no such thing as selected="0"? It's either 'selected' on its own or 'selected="selected"'( both without single quotes).

I uninstalled popup-blocker and

tried

Tried it in Chrome, Edge, and IE , still no-go ?

I can't figure it out?

Thanks for your help...

It seems to work, although it loads a blank page if first option is selected because it's value is empty string, I would check for that before attempting to open it.

Aha you were right from the beginning .

I uninstalled my Chrome adBlocker but that didnt solve problem .

I didn't realize that Chrome has an internal blocker.

Turns out Chrome has under 'Advanced Settings' something called
'Content Settings'
and under there is a settings called
'Pop-ups and redirects'
once I reset that to 'Allowed' all is well .

Edge also has an 'Advanced Setting' called 'Block pops-ups' that needs to be turned off .

Likewise InternetExplorer has a check box under
'Internet Options' that needs to be UNchecked called 'Turn on Pop-up Blocker' .

Having changed , the page still doesn't work properly .

Must be something more needs to be tweaked .

Anyways , Thanks for your help !
