Help,
I'm redesigning my site and would like to link to files contained in a folder rather than having these files as separate web pages, and need to know how to call for each page by using a drop down list.
I have a working list but am only able to generates a (page not available), what am I doing wrong? These pages are located in a folder in the web site.

It's hard to say without seeing the code..Post the code or the URL and someone may be able to help out more. Smiling

Below is a working sample list code, I'm trying to prompt the list to draw pages from a folder on the web site, rather than individual web pages. But all I'm able to generate is a, "page unavailabel message".

What is salvation?How can I be born again?Should I speak in tongues?What is the Holy Spirit? Must I be baptised?What must I do to be saved?Is it two late for me to be saved?Does God really care?Why does God allow such suffering?What is the rapture?Why is there so much hate?Will I go through the tribulation?

Do you have a sample page up live? It would be easier to see what is going on that way. I'm not sure if JavaScript can look through a folder on the server though, that may be the trouble.

Hi,
Thank you for your reply. No I dont have a sample page up as yet but I'll repost when I do.

I presume you have some JS code in your header page, as you need URLs for the selections to go to.

May I suggest an easier way? You can go to: http://www.potentproducts.com/resources/tools/ddmenu.html and use an online Menu Maker for what you want. Then you just copy & paste the code into the page.

What's nice about this tool (besides being Free Wink ) is that the code it creates, is all contained within the FORM tag, making it faster for your visitors and easier for you to work with.
