creating links in dropdown boxes

[Guest]

I am trying to create a dropdown box to use for navigation and just add links
to each option to certain anchor points on the page. Only I cant figure how
you add links inside the dropdown box so when a user clicks on an option is
follows the link. Thanks for any help you can givel.

Try this..

<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>

Ooops

After reading closer....

The key word is "Bookmarks"

1.. In Page view, at the bottom of the document window, click Design .
2.. Select the text to which you want to assign a bookmark .).
3.. On the Insert menu, click Bookmark.
4.. Under Bookmark name, type or select the name of the bookmark (spaces
are allowed).

You can then link to the "bookmark"
When adding the hyperlink look for the bookmark button...

Sorry for the confusion on my part...

if you use the drop down box, that javascript you provided will still be needed.
you just replace the actual links with anchor reference names.

| <select onchange="if(this.selectedIndex > 0 ) location.href='http://' +
| this.options[this.selectedIndex].value">
| <option>Select link</option>
| <option value="yourpage..htm#bookmark1">
| <option value="yourpage.htm#bookmark2"</option>
| </select>
| </form>

and so on.
