Scenario: I have three web sites I want to link to. I also don't want to bore my friends by having them all lined up in a row, or in a long unordered list. I want them to click a little drop down box, and have that site automatically load.
To accomplish this, I need to use a blank form, and I need to place a selection list on it. I need to add options for each of the three sites, and then I need to do a little JavaScript magic.
Form and List without JavaScript
OnChange - change the current page location (address) to the one selected when someone chooses something from the drop down box.
add size to show options:
OnChange="location.href=jump1.myjumpbox.options[selectedIndex].value"
OnChange is the event. location.href is the browser's current location. We are telling the browser to look at jump1 (our form), then look at myjumpbox on jump1 (our listbox), then figure out which of our options is selected, and then copy whatever value that option has into the browser's current location.
to use frames, and to load in the entire window (not just inside the current frame), change location.href to top.location.href
