Pulldown menu question
How do I get links into a pulldown menu? I used this format (shown without the greater-than/less than signs), but it just gave a normal pulldown menu and would not visit the links when clicked on:
form
select
option a href="...."/a
option a href="...."/a
option a href="...."/a
/select
/form
I appreciate any help regarding this.

Welcome to TWF fiesty,
This is how I do mine:
<form name="links"><select name="select" onChange="MM_jumpMenu('parent',this,0)">
<option value="page-name1.html">Page 1</option>
<option value="page-name2.html">Page 2</option>
</select>
</form>

Thanks alot! I don't know if I've ever seen the onChange="MM_jumpMenu('Parent',this,0)" command before now. Must be a little more advanced than where I'm currently at.

Glad I could help. That basically tells it to change the page to the one selected from the menu.
Why not stop by the Introductions Forum and tells us a bit about yourself

That's a macromedia script - they're notorious for being more complicated than they need to be. That can't be the only part of the script - there must be a second part defining the MM_jumpMenu('Parent',this,0) is. I'll see if I can a complete script... it's really just a matter of changing the window.location to the value of the form option.

Oh yeah, fogot the head bit!!
function MM_jumpMenu(targ,selObj,restore){ //v3.0eval(targ+".location='"+selObj.options[selObj.selectedIndex].value+"'");
if (restore) selObj.selectedIndex=0;
}
Yes it Macromedia Dreamweaver code, but it works!

Here, try this (sorry, I don't have my own code for this, I don't use them very often...):
onChange="window.location = this.options[this.selectedIndex].value"
Where the value is set to an html page reference. Much simpler

Thanks to both of you (webmistress and Megan). This code has given me problems, so I hope I don't get an ulcer trying to figure it out.
Anyway, I will probably fill out more on my personal information page soon. But, for now, my name is Steve, I'm 32, and I live in TN.
I have just recently started all of this webmastering stuff. I love html, but I hate all these other wierd programs (Java, JavaScript, etc., etc.). It certainly would be nice if all programs were as easy (and made as much sense) as html.
Also, I do not have an actual computer, but instead have WebTV (basically the same thing, but you can't download anything to a disc and it's speed is sort of slow). Oh well, It was worth the price difference for what I'm using it for (mostly internet stuff).
Oh yeah, here's my site:
