Hi,

If you want, see the "Select & Go Menus" script at my site. It demonstrates & discusses both types of dropdowns (pros & cons). The no-button version includes a "doSel()" function that can be used to eval() most any type of code.

You put the values you are going to use inside the <option> tag.

eg. <option value="URL">NAME

If you want to use a "GO" button try this:

<form>
<select size="1" name="destination">
<option value="">Select Destination:</option>
<option value="http://www.hotmail.com">Hotmail</option>
</select>
<input type="button"
onClick="javascript:navDropbox(this.form.destination.options[this.form.destination.options.selectedIndex].value)">
</form>

Insert the following between the <head></head> tags:

<script language="JavaScript">
<!-- hide script from old browsers

function navDropbox(URL) {
if (URL != "") {
window.location.href = URL;
}
}

// end hiding from old browsers -->
</script>

Insert the following between the <body></body> tags:

<form>
<select size="1"
onChange="javascript:navDropbox(this.options[selectedIndex].value)">
<option value="">Select Destination:</option>
<option value="http://www.hotmail.com">Hotmail</option>
</select>
</form>

If you would like a dropbox with a button I can adjust the script for you.

Hello,

I was wondering how to create a simple drop down menu, so you can select a catagory like "products" or whatever and it will go to that page...Either that or when you select that and then have to hit like "enter or go" or something. Please help. Thanks..I dont know much about javascript.
