Thank you. After posting my initial post, I ended up with the Dreamweaver default:

function MM_jumpMenuGo(selName,targ,restore){ //v3.0
  var selObj = MM_findObj(selName); if (selObj) MM_jumpMenu(targ,selObj,restore);
}

But your option allows for the new window business which is I always wanted.

Thank you.

This is a very quick and dirty attempt. Do a search on drop down menus on the web, you might come up with a better one.

here it is:

<?php

<html>
<head>
    <title>Untitled</title>
    <style type=\"text/css\">   
    .button
         {       BACKGROUND-COLOR: #FFFFFF;
                 COLOR: #000000;
                 font-family: Verdana,'Comic Sans MS',Arial,Sans-Serif, Helvetica;
                 font-size: 9px;    
                 BORDER: 1;
                 BORDER-STYLE: solid;
                 BORDER-COLOR: #000000;
         }
    
         select
         {       BACKGROUND-COLOR: #F0F0F0;
                 COLOR: #000000;
                 FONT-FAMILY: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica;
                 FONT-SIZE: 8pt;
