Thank you.
Does this mean that jump menus won't work with some browsers?
Also, can I have several jump menus on the same page?

Depends on the styles (if any) and JavaScript for the type of "jump menu" used to create the menu

(1) Here is what I had to do. If I placed my cursor right after a bookmark I had previously placed on the page, I could access the behaviors. Then, I could move the jump menu to another place on the page. Everything works well in preview. I'll see what happens after I publish.

(2) Is there a way I can make all the jump menus on the page the same width? I checked the HTML, but there does not seem to be anything there that I can change. This is what the code shows for the first jump menu.

<select size="1" onchange="FP_jumpMenu(this,'window',false)" id="id1" name="D1" tabindex="1">
<option value="#">Science - Select one.</option>
<option value="links/links_astronomy.htm">Astronomy</option>
<option value="links/links_chemistry.htm">Chemistry</option>
<option value="nolinksyet.htm">General Interest</option>
<option value="nolinksyet.htm">Geology</option>
<option value="nolinksyet.htm">History</option>
<option value="nolinksyet.htm">Media</option>
<option value="nolinksyet.htm">Meteorology</option>

Hi Adela,

1. Find the largest text entry and for each jump menu make sure at least one menu item is spaced to the same size.
2. Use CSS
3. Use J-Bots which includes the CSS selector and is more efficient to use.

Thank you.

I keep forgetting about Jbots. I'll look into it again.

In case someone comes looking for the answer to the same question. Here is how I finally did it.

Click on the jump menu you want to change the width of.
Go to Format, Properties.
Click on Style
Select Class: FP_jumpMenu
Click on Format, position.
Type in the value for width.

This worked even when I forgot to set the class.
Also, take a look at the HTML once you’ve done one, you’ll be able to see the difference.
