Please can someone explain how to produce drop down navigation buttons in
frontpage 2003 ? Can this be done and how ? I have a programme called front
FX which has loads of buttons, but no drop down nav buttons.

Many Thanks
 
Create a drop-down list box (select element) in a form. Set the value of
each item to a URL. Add an "onchange" event handler to the drop-down that
sets the document.location property to the URL of the selected option.
Example:

<form><select onchange="document.location =
this.options[this.selectedIndex].value"size="1" name="D1">
<option selected>Select One</option>
<option value="http://www.google.com">Google</option>
<option value="http://www.microsoft.com">Microsoft</option>
</select></form>

Do I need FP extensions for this drop down box ? I am on windows server if
that helps.
cheers

Hi Phil,

No extensions necessary. In fact, the only reason you need a form at all is
that some browsers won't display the form element unless it's inside a form.
Note that I've removed everything from the form tag. There is nothing to
make it submit. All the drop-down list does is to fire a JavaScript event
handler that navigates the document to the URL of the selected option.
