Multiple Pull Down Lists

[Susan]

I'm using FP2002 and I have been having an on-going
problem. My site is constantly evolving and due to demand
for more documents for different subjects or groups to be
published, I have a need to have more than one pull down
list on a page. While I can add the list and in preview
it looks fine, once published when I select the file in
one list it displays the file from the other list.

Any suggestions will be appreciated.

Each drop down must be surrounded by it's own set of form tags and you must
give each form a unique name under form properties.

Hi Susan,
I'm guessing without seeing your site but do you have several dropdowns each
of which jump to a particular file? If so you should make your dropdowns
like this
<script type="text/javascript">
function goTo(f){
if(f.options.selectedIndex>0)location.href=f.options[f.options.selectedIndex
].value
</script>

<form>
<select onchange="goTo(this);">
<option value="">Choose a file</option>
<option value="file1.htn">File One</option>
<option value="file2.htn">File Two</option>
</select>

<select onchange="goTo(this);">
<option value="">Choose a file</option>
<option value="file3.htn">File Three</option>
<option value="file4.htn">File Four</option>
</select>
....more dropdowns as needed
</form>

I have tried all of the suggestions given and they don't
help. I have two pull down lists each containing several
different documents for selection by anyone needing the
information (e.g., Monthly Reports for two separate
groups). I was finally given some JavaScript code to use
(see below), however, even placing each pull down into a
separate cell of a table does not help. I continue to
have the problem of the documents from list two being
displayed when selecting a document from list one. I'm at
a loss as to how to proceed. Any other suggestions would
be appreciated.

(<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
function setaction(jumpto)
{
if (jumpto == 0) window.location
= "";
if (jumpto == 1) window.location
= "";
if (jumpto == 2) window.location = "";
if (jumpto == 3) window.location = "";
if (jumpto == 4) window.location = "";
if (jumpto == 5)
window.location = "";
if (jumpto == 6)
window.location = "";
if (jumpto == 7)
window.location = "";
if (jumpto == 8)
window.location = "";
if (jumpto == 9)
window.location = "";
if (jumpto == 10)
window.location = "";
if (jumpto == 11)
window.location = "";
if (jumpto == 12)
window.location = "";
if (jumpto == 13) window.location = "";


}
// --></script>
<form form method="POST">
<div align="center">
<div align="left">
<pre> <select name="dest" size="1">
<option>System Disposition List v27.2(30Sept03)
</option><option>System Disposition
Categories</option><option></option><option></option><optio

<input TYPE="BUTTON" VALUE="GO" ONCLICK="setaction
(form.dest.selectedIndex)"> </pre>
</div>
</div>
