I created a database of Gifs and uploaded it to my site.
I wanted a drop-down menu to call-up 2 selected picture2
from the database and display the gifs under the drop down
menu.
Unfortunately, all I get when I view the page is a 2
column list of the word "Binary"

Like this: [Binary] [Binary]
[Binary] [Binary]
[Binary] [Binary]
etc.

What am I doing wrong?
Click to expand...

On the Web, drop-down list items must consist entirely of
text. You can't use a picture to identify drop-down list
choices.

The more common solution is to display clickable
thumbnails of each picture in a table or frameset.
