Below is my dropdown menu script which should direct my customers to a PayPal screen. BUT...it doesn't work. Can anyone help me out with this? The link by itself works, but not integrated into the menu.

The html in action can be found at http://www.cprhosting.com/test.shtml

Geez, that looks pretty horrible.

Where is your submit button? Oh, you have it so it goes automatically. Better to use a submit button.

So it doesn't take you anywhere or it doesn't take you to the right page? It doesn't do anything in Opera, so could you please define your errors a little more?

Thanks!

That's just it, the design follows the examples of a JUMP MENU, but for whatever reason, my code doesn't "jump" anywhere. I must be missing something, but I can't figure out what. The links work without being in the jump menu, but they don't work once embedded.

Escape the & symbols out -- use & instead of & and your link will work.

I tried that. The site works in dreamweaver just fine, but once I upload it to my site, even w/ the & the page refuses to link.

Check your function. I rebuilt the jump box and used your links with & instead of & and it worked for me.

It could very well be DW -- there may be a setting for it to ignore or translate special characters.

Well there's part of the problem -- you have no function.

Ha! Sorry, just read that over and it sounds horrible. You obviously have a function, as a human, but your page is missing the function. It's normally in the tag. MM_jumpMenu is the name of the function that must be defined for the form to work.

duh!! Thanks Suzanne, I can't believe I missed that. I'll attribute it to a lack of sleep and not a lack of my own programming capabilities.

Yes, I am (or at least was considered yesterday) a programmer.
