Insert the tag: <script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
before the line: function jmpMS(site){
PS move the whole script inside of the HEAD tags at the top of the page so you have
<head>
.................... any other tags here
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
function jmpMS(site) {
if (site == 0) {return;}
if (site == 1) {parent.frames.myframe.location.href="
http://www.microsoft.com/";}
if (site == 2) {parent.frames.myframe.location.href="
http://mspress.microsoft.com/";}
if (site == 3) {parent.frames.myframe.location.href="
http://www.msnbc.com/";}
}
</script>
</head>

| I tried to add the code into my html page. What happened was the first line
| I entered, the 'function jmp()' then appears on the preview tab. Any ideas
| what is going on?
|
| Also, what defines the index, used in (this.selectedIndex) ??
|
| Thanks!
