Tile: How to create and modify a redirection drop-down list box in FrontPage
2002

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/310713/en-us

The above is the link to that help page I'm trying to get help from. I have
followed the instructions as outlined however when I go to preview and then
click the drop down menu and select MSN home page for eg, instead of being
redirected to that page I get a script error message. Can someone tell me if
its me or Microsofts example code. And if its Mircrosoft's example how do I
find a solution to my dilema.

Make sure you have copied the script to Notepad before you copied the script to your page
- then save the page and use File Preview in browser

Thank you Stefan - However!

I have done that, over and over again and still I get an error message. Is
there a problem with the code or could it be my computer? Could you try
copying and pasting it then previewing it. If it works for you then I know
something is wrong on my side. What that is though beats the hell out of me.

No the code is correct if you copied it all inside of your body tags in code view
- I just did w/ any problems

Post your code
What specific error message are you getting

No problems with the code as written.
See www.rxs-enterprises.org/tests/pages/drop_down_test.htm

However, the code will give problems to users who use a keyboard,
rather than a mouse.
Add a submit button and move the
onchange="gotoPage(this.selectedIndex);"
from the select tag to the submit button, and change it to
onclick="gotoPage(this.selectedIndex);"

To do this, change </form> to

<input type="submit" value="Go"
onclick="gotoPage(this.selectedIndex);">
</form>

and delete onchange="gotoPage(this.selectedIndex);"
