I've never heard of Velocity, I'm afraid. Is it a server-side language?

Velocity is like ASP but used on a Linux Server. Basically, Velocity integrates with the Jakarta Struts Web application framework and enables the use of velocity templates interchangeably with JSP pages for the view layer.

Right. In that case, you should be able to output Javascript inline with your other output, whether you use templates or generate it otherwise.
What are you having trouble with exactly? Inserting the Javascript code, or creating a dropdown, or something to do with Velocity, or what?

i have done the dropdown javascript. Problem is when i put the script in, the dropdown dose not work. I put the script in the header.vm file, this header then is parsed through all the .vm pages. But when the page is loaded the dropdown dose not work.

Probably youre probleme comes from a misplace include of the js file
Server-side language like JSP or ASP are processed by the server before the page is sent to the browser and only the html result are sent. javascript on the other hand are processed in the browser so you have to make sure your script tag get there.
Like Suzanne said it would be easier to understand for every body if you did include a link or some code
