Default Drop-down menu with links


How do you create a drop-down menu with different links for each selection?
For example:

Assume the Drop-down menu contains 5 items:
Masks (link to www.folkart.com/masks.htm)
Pottery (link to www.folkart.com/pottery.htm)
Textile (link to www.folkart.com/textile.htm)
Regious Art (link to www.folkart.com/religious.htm)
Wood Carvings (link to www.folkart.com/wood.htm)

Do we use INSERT, FORM, Drop-Down Box? If yes, how and where do we add the
links? Assuming you can set different links to each selection, how do you
execute the form when the selection is made?

If we don't use Forms, how is this done within FrontPage 2002?

Thanks, Cecil

You would use JavaScript. One is here:

You use the form drop down field, but you also have to use JavaScript to
actually make it function.

Do a search in IE address bar:

? JavaScript Jump Menu Script

Hi,
Make your drop down then go over to HTML view and modify your <select> tag
so it looks like this
<select
onchange="if(this.options.selectedIndex>0)location.href=this.options[this.op
tions.selectedIndex].value">
<option value="">Choose A Link</option>
<option value="http://www.folkart.com/masks.htm">Masks</option>
etc.......
