    Question Help please: Creating a link in a form list/menu

    Hello! I would like to ask how to make a link on a form's list/menu. Suppose I have this code :

    <select name="select">
    <option>Downloadable Forms</option> <option>History</option>
    </select>

    How do I put a link on each of these items? If

    Here's a quick site with several combo box options and the code for them...

    http://www.pacosdrivers.com/wm/js.asp?cat=8

    You need to create your select box with an onChange call to a JS element... the JS element can either be outside the page or in the <HEAD> section of the page.

    Code:
    <select name="navigation" onChange="go()">
<option value="">--- Navigation ---</option>
<option value="default.html">Home</option>
<option value="page1.html">Page 1</option>
<option value="page2.html">Page 2</option>
</select>
    For the Javascript, you want to take the value in your select box (named 'navigation') and read it into a variable, then redirect the window to that variable (the new "destination").

    Code:
    function go()
{
	box = document.forms[0].navigation;
	destination = box.options[box.selectedIndex].value;
	if (destination) location.href = destination;
}
    Hope this helps!

    Regards,

    Re: Help please: Creating a link in a form list/menu

    That's all very well, but how do you do it with more than one list/menus? I've got three on the same page and I want the lists to link to other web pages.
