I took a course on HTML about 5-6 years ago, hardly used it after I had taken it. But now I am trying to create a website where on the first page you have to choose a state from a drop down menu and then the next page would be another drop down menu with a list of towns in the respective state. I've tried , placed it everywhere with in other tags, before and after it, before and after it. I just can't get the states to come up in the drop down menu as links. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

HTML, CSS, and Javascript

It turns out it's actually not that simple. You'll actually need to employ a little scripting, one way or another.

If you're going with Javascript, you may be able to use this to generate what you're looking for. I used it many years ago and it worked fine for what you're talking about.

hi t1t
keep in mind that links in javascript menus cannot be spidered by search engines. For that, you need a combination of css and html.
