Active drop down menus
Would you like to have a drop down menu containing a list of your favorite pages and visit them with a click of a button as in the example below?

Go to:

Don't worry if you don't have CGI access, above drop down menu was implemeted using JavaScript. Let's look at the code:

<form name="form1" 

  method="POST">



Go to: 

<select name="dd1" size=1>


<option value="internet/">

  Internet Tips</option>


<option value="programming/">

  Programming Tips</option>


<option value="windows/">

  Windows Tips</option>


</select>


<input type=button 


  onClick=

  "location = 

  'http://www.acky.net' 

  + document.form1.dd1.options[ 

    document.form1.dd1.selectedIndex ].value;" 



  value="GO">



</form>

 

The code in red is the magic code that tells the browser to redirect you to a different location depending on what's selected in the drop down menu.
