I have created a drop down box with a list of items that are links.
The links try to work but are pointed to the wrong file. How do I change
where the click is directed?
Thank you,
Christa
 
Christa,

I think the easiest way is to look in Code View for the <form> that has the
dropdown <option value="whatever.com"> and change that to <option
value="correctedURL.com">.
 
This is what is in the code.
<option value="newport.htm">Newport 001</option>
<option value="gresham.htm">Gresham 003</option>
but it says this path after I click on the links.
C:\Documents and Settings\christa\Local Settings\Temporary Internet
Files\FrontPageTempDir\newport.htm

This is not even where the files are saved.
?
Thank you for the help
Christa
 
Have you created a Web/Site first? and if so are you working with that web opened?

I have created the index including the drop down boxes. I then created the
pages I wanted to link too.
They are all in the same web page area.
I am getting the error message when clicking on the link in the drop down
menu in preview view.

Save the page and use Preview in Browser instead of preview.
When Previewing the page is opened from a copy in the FP temporary
folder, and JavaScript links may appear to point to that location.
 
That did it. I did notice that both a new page opens and the index goes to
the linked page too. Can I do one or the other not both changing to the page
I clicked on the link too?
Thank you
Christa
 
Did you start with an open web (File->Open Web/Site) or are the pages
just loose pages in the same folder?
FrontPage requires a web to work in, loose pages will always be linked
to disc locations.
 
I figured it out. I had two behaviors listed. As soon as I deleted one it
worked the way I wanted it too.
Thank you
