Firefox 3.6.18 on Centos 5.6 X64.
All Javascript options in the browser enabled.

May I suggest an alternative method in PHP?

<form .... new-web-page.php
<input type=hidden name='choice' value='index' ...
<option .. (for docs)
<input type=submit' ...
</form

<form .... new-web-page.php
<input type=hidden name='choice' value='filter' ...
<option .. (for filters)
<input type=submit' ...
</form

With new-web-page.php redirecting to the required web page based on $choice and $version

$next = '<HTML><HEAD><META HTTP-EQUIV="REFRESH" CONTENT="0; url=';
$next.= 'http://www.exim.org/exim-html-'.$version.'/doc/html/spec_html/'.$choice.'.html';
$next.= '"></HEAD></HTML>';

echo $next;
