I am new at this. I have a drop down menu with all the items listed, how do I
click on a item in the list so that it takes me to the page that I have
clicked on. I gather you have to make seperate pages for all the lists in the
menu.
PLEASE HELP someone.
Sure hope this makes sense.

Have a look at this:
http://simplythebest.net/scripts/DHT...cript_100.html

From what I can tell, you just have to have each element in the list link to
another page

Yes you have to make separate pages if you're going to link to them. In the
drop down list, add a link to the pages. For example:

<form>
<select onChange="if(options[selectedIndex].value)
window.location.href=(options[selectedIndex].value)">
<option>Select...
<option value="home.htm">Home</option>
<option value="links.htm">Links</option>
<option value="contact.htm">Contact</option>
</select>
</form>

fwiw, you should use onClick with a Go button instead of onChange.
If you use onChange, a person who navigates using the keyboard instead of a mouse,
will never get past the first item in the drop down.

How about bookmarks on the same page?

A hyperlink by any other name is still a hyperlink. :-)

Hi Dan

Thank you for taking the time to help me, I gather that I have to do this in
the code section of Front page.....
So each page has a htm after it.....I got a drop down script from another
site and put it in my code section like it said to do, and changed their code
to the catergories that I have instead....
Here is part of the script that I have from the script site which is in the
head part of the code
Begin
function formHandler(form) {
var windowprops = "height=500,width=500,location=no,"
+ "scrollbars=no,menubars=no,toolbars=no,resizable=yes";

var URL = form.site.options[form.site.selectedIndex].value;
popup = window.open(URL,"MenuPopup",windowprops);
}
// End -->
and here is the start of what is in the body part.....
<a href="Newspapers%20&%20Mags.htm"><!--webbot bot="Validation"
s-display-name="Adult" b-value-required="TRUE" --><select name="Select One"
SIZE=1 onChange="formHandler(this.form)" multiple>
<option value="Adult">Adult</option>
<option value="Astrology">Astrology</option>
<option value="Aviation">Aviation &amp; Defense</option>
<option value="Bikers">Bikers,Lifestyle & Tattoos</option>
<option value="Boating">Boating</option>
I really would appreciate any help that you might be able to give me.....

Thank you so much,

From a silly Aussie

Remove the hyperlink wrapping the form field - illegal html
Remove <a href="Newspapers%20&%20Mags.htm"> and the closing tag </a>

Then for each "page" in your dropdown add the page location for the value
<option value="Adultpage.htm">Adult</option>
or if Adult is a bookmark on the page Newspapers_and_Mags.htm
<option value="Newspapers_and_Mags.htm#Adult">Adult</option>

PS
remove all spaces and punctuation from your file names (& is reserved and not allowed in a file names)

Thank you for your help, and sorry to say I have done what you say but when I
click on the Adult in the drop down list it comes up and says Error 14 Object
needed.
I have the page Adult.htm....this is so frustrating, hope you or someone can
tell me what I am doing wrong..
