Drop Down/Jump Menu Problem!!

G

Guest

Thanks in advance for any help explaining this to me. I've built a jump/drop down menu of the 50 states in FP 2003 and I inserted the jum/drop down menu in a shared border at the top of every page in my website. After saving I selected a state and went to that states page fine, but when I click on the drop down menu again to go to another state it does nothing. I would like my readers to be able to go from page to page without clicking the back button and starting over each time. I'm just starting out and have very little knowledge of HTML. Thanks again for any help.

find the page your jump menu is "really" on. look into the <head> for some
JavaScript that may go with it. if there's some there you'll need to move
it out of the head section of the jump menu's page so it gets included.

Ken,

Here is a link to my site. This is a Jump menu I have used
for years. It isn't the simplest, as it requires a <Head>
script on every page where the menu appears.

Hi,
I'm guessing you've got a script in the head of the page which isn't being
included in your pages. There's no need for a script to make a jump menu you
can do
<select
onchange="if(this.selectedIndex>0)location.href=this.options[this.options.se
lectedIndex].value;">
<option value="">Choose a site</option>
<option value="http://www.microsoft.com">Microsoft</option>
<option value="http://www.ibm.com">IBM</option>
etc.....

This way the menu is self-contained and you don't need to worry about any
other script.
