Question

Basically I am building a html banner that can be posted in blogs or on other webpages.
All it is is a form with some options in a select element.

<form id='formElement' method='get' action='#'>
<select id='selectElement'>
<option value='united-kingdom'>UK</option>
<option value='ireland'>Ireland</option>
</select>
</form>  

This jQuery takes the value of the selected option, and then adds the value on the end of A URL and then opens the url.

  $(function() {
        $("#selectElement").change(function() {
            if ($(this).val()) {
             var country = $(this).val();
                window.open("http://www.mobell.co.jp/country/"+country+"/", '_parent');
                $("#formElement").submit();
            }
        });       
    });
});

This works fine if I preview and use the banner locally, but if I embed the banner in a blog post then when the form submits it just goes to the homepage of that URL.

Any ideas?

For some reason it works fine on js fiddle:
