frontpage 2000 dropdown menu using frames

[Guest]

I would like a dropdown menu in one frame and then open my selection from the
dropdown menu in another frame.

Is this possible???

Please talk slowly as I am a novice and English!!!

Thanks
Steve

Yes, you have to set the frame target value for the form tag to open in the frame of your choice.

You will have to be careful and make sure that the dropdown doesn't encroach
on the other frame. If it does, it will appear to slide UNDER the other
frame, compromising the utitlity of the menu. (For what it's worth, I am now
required to deliver my micro-rant: Frames are rarely the optimal choice for
any given site layout)

This tutorial is pretty good -

To make these links open in another frame, you would have to add the target
attribute to each link, e.g.,

<a href="whatever.html" target="yourframename"....
