what version of frontpage?

If you have Fp 2003 there is a behaviour to do exactly what you want.

otherwise you need to do this:

<form>
<p align="center"><b>Select a Site </b>
<select id="setit" style="color: #0000FF" size="1" name="test">
<option value="">Select one</option>
<option value="http://www.altavista.com">AltaVista</option>
<option value="http://www.yahoo.com">Yahoo</option>
<option value="http://www.google.com">Google</option></select>
<input type="button" value="Go"
onclick="window.open(setit.options[setit.selectedIndex].value)">
</select>
</p>

</form>
