Drop Down Menu Help

R

Ray Sestak

I am trying to create a drop down menu that contains a
listing of States. I would like visitors to be able to
click on a State name, and be taken to a page that
contains information about that State. The Help function
on how to do this is lacking. Is there a source of info
that I can go to? I'd appreciate any help. Thansk!

If you're using FP2003, you can use behaviors to create the menu.
With prior versions, you'll need to do a javascript menu. One is found at:
Drop Down Menu

Hi,
All 50 states ? To my mind that's going to be too much to put in a menu. I'd
do something like this
<select
onchange="if(this.options.selectedIndex>0)location.href=this.options[this.op
tions.selectedIndex].value">
<option value="">choose a state</option>
<option value="alabama.htm">alabama</option>
etc

this should be more user friendly than a menu. If you do want to go the menu
route (assuming fp2003) you can use my menu behaviors here

Perfect! Thanks Jon. I'm using FP 2000 and the help
leaves a bit to be desired. I'll have it set up at
http://KoreanWarMIAs.com Stop by and take a look a little
later. Thanks again.

Why did you build all your pages in frames (100% for each page with an empty frame set of 0%)
- that's eventually going to possibly give you link target errors and is not search engine or bookmarking friendly
