[ic] help with escaping the [ character

[Arango, Karen]

Thanks,

I just discovered that the 91 and 93 are not recognized in javascript.... 
and now it makes sense that the selected is a minivend tag that it would not
work.

	Actually, this probably won't do what you want in javascript.
The [ and ] are translated into [ and ] in HTML code, and not for
javascript code.  Meaning... if you want minivend/interchange to skip over
something in [brackets], the brackets must contain something that it
doesn't recognize.  [selected] is a minivend tag. [blah] is not a minivend
tag and will be skipped over.
	So, you might want to do something like this in your javascript:

function jumpto() {
  var optionpicked = window.document.quickLinks.quickList.selectedIndex;
  parent.location.href =
    window.document.quickLinks.quickList.options[optionpicked].value;
}
