broken website link in select menu

I’m moving my website from over to wordpress for CMS reasons and the previous website works completely. However on the wordpress side a select menu filled with various websites linking out of the options doesn’t work. Below you’ll find the code that is created for the page and the links go to the correct pages. When I select the option though nothing happens. Any thought?

<select name=”projects_id” onchange=”MM_jumpMenu(‘parent’,this,1)”>hi

<option value=”http://localhost/wordpress/?page_id=71″>Interested in a project…</option>

<option value=”http://localhost/wordpress/?page_id=79″>Calgary</option&gt;

<option value=”http://localhost/wordpress/?page_id=83″>East Asia</option>

<option value=”http://localhost/wordpress/?page_id=82″>Halifax</option&gt;

<option value=”http://localhost/wordpress/?page_id=81″>Montréal/Paris</option&gt;

<option value=”http://localhost/wordpress/?page_id=84″>North Africa</option>

<option value=”http://localhost/wordpress/?page_id=86″>Panama</option&gt;

<option value=”http://localhost/wordpress/?page_id=87″>Scotland</option&gt;

<option value=”http://localhost/wordpress/?page_id=85″>Southeast Africa</option>

<option value=”http://localhost/wordpress/?page_id=80″>Waterloo</option&gt;

</select>
