Suppose I want to use a drop down menu for navigation, like so:

<form action="???" method="post" name="StateSelect">
<select class="dropdown" name="location" size="1">

<% control Menu(3) %>
<option value="$Link">$MenuTitle</option>
<% end_control %>

</select>
<input class="submitbutton" type="submit" value="Find" name="GoState" />
</form>

Then what would be the 'action' to put in?

Thanks,

Hi , a navigation dropdown will not work like that... It needs a bit more. ;-)

Check out http://www.alistapart.com/articles/dropdowns/ for an easy and accessible example.

Good luck !

Thanks for your reply!

I'm not looking for a css based menu, but really a drop down (as used in a form... but use it for a certain type of navigation)... not possible to populate a drop down like that with links, with SS? I know I can put in link names with a control, but what would the post-action be? If I made myself clear that is ;)

You need a bit of script to open the selected URL.

Right, I used to build drop down menus with server side scripting, but using SS that would be a little different I guess. I thought there would be a custom control built-in for this, but I cannot find it. Then I was thinking of making a function, similar to the one in the tutorial about showing browser polls, but hey, I'm not that good (yet ;)

Maybe I have to decide on making it css-based though, downside is that it seems to pose problems with IE6...

Thanks again,
