Drop Down Boxes In Tables - Can a drop down box be placed into a table? (Posted by R Hatch)
I have built a drop down box (with a "GO" button) to help navigate through my site and it works great. Next, I would like to use several drop down boxes into a table. The problem is that when I put the box into the table, it only navigates to one page, regardless of which page is selected. There has to be a code to allow me to this. Suggestions?

When using forms inside tables I always put the <form> & </form> tags outside of the table. I don't know whetther this will solve your problem. Could you post the code you are using so we can take a look at it.

I got it figured out and it was the form tags. What finally worked was placing them within the cell. The code is:
<table border="0" cellpadding="7" cellspacing="0" width="638">
<tr>
<td valign="top" width="20%" height="32"><font
color="#000080">PASSES</font></td>
<td valign="top" width="20%" height="32"><font
color="#000080">POSTCARDS</font></td>
<td valign="top" width="20%" height="32"><font
color="#000080">PAPERS</font></td>
<td valign="top" width="20%" height="32"><font
color="#000080">PHOTOS</font></td>
<td valign="top" width="20%" height="32"><font
color="#000080">HARDWARE</font></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td valign="top" width="20%" height="32" </td><form
name="guideform">
<p><select name="guidelinks" size="1">
<option selected value="passes.htm">CM Passes</option>
<option value="testonly.htm">test </option>
</select> <input type="button" name="go"
value="Go!"
onclick="window.location=document.guideform.guidelinks.options[document.guideform.guidelinks.selectedIndex].value">
</p>
</form>
</td>
<td valign="top" width="20%" height="32"> </td>
<td valign="top" width="20%" height="32"> </td>
<td valign="top" width="20%" height="32"> </td>
<td valign="top" width="20%" height="32"> </td>
</tr>
</table>
Thanks for your help!
