Any easy ways to use a drop down menu to get to a bookmarked spot?

I already have the items bookmarked, but can not figure out how to apply a
bookmark to an item in a drop down menu.

TIA

When creating the hyperlink, in the hyperlink dialog ( panel ) browse to the file ( the page )
containing the bookmarks, click once on the file, and then click bookmarks, and then select from the
list of bookmarks.

If hand scribing your hyperlinks simply add the pound sign and bookmarked "word" to the end of the
hyperlink like this: thepage.htm#bookmarkword

Note, bookmarks made of multiple words will not work. #book mark will not work. #bookmark will
work.
This is true for all bookmarks.

Copy Paste...

<form>
<select onchange="if(this.selectedIndex > 0 ) location.href='http://' +
this.options[this.selectedIndex].value">
<option>Select link</option>
<option value="www.microsoft.com">Microsoft</option>
<option value="msdn.microsoft.com">MSDN</option>
</select>
</form>

This should get you started..
Change the link... value="www.yourlink.com">MyLink</option>
When looking at the dropdown you will see MyLink and it would take you to
www.yourlink.com

Add as many lines of options as you need

However, you should change the "onchange" event to an onclick event with a Go button to fire it.

People who navigate a page using the keyboard and not a mouse, will never get past the first
selection in the dropdown when using onchange to fire the event.

Hi Jaye,

http://frontpageforms.com/dd_bookmark.htm

The Hyperlink menu I use is a tad cumbersome, as it requires a <Head> script.

Steve -

I have seen this caveat against using multiple words as bookmarks posted in this newsgroup a number of
times, and it isn't true in my experience. Multiple words work fine as bookmarks on my own website (see
the links section of www.theschillergroup.com if you're curious enough --- the multiple word categories
for the links are all bookmarks). Frontpage will turn multiple words automatically into bookmarks the
same way it does hyperlinks. I wonder what the source of this confusion might be?

Actually, multiple words work just fine. Just cannot have any spaces.
Select a sentence and FP will insert underscores in the spaces.

Hi Craig.
I took a look, very interesting.
Every time I've tried to use multiple words as bookmarks when linking to a different page, they
always wound up opening the next page at the top instead of at the bookmark.

That was back in FP 98 days, and as a result I've always just used single words ever since.

I've seen others post the same thing too.!!

Actually, multiple words work just fine with spaces too. FP does not insert
underscores, at least with FP 2002.
