I am looking for a way to use the choices in a pull down menu as a link
to the selected subject. I am currently using the
FORM...SELECT...OPTIONS html code to initiate the pull down but don't
know how to make the choices in the pull down into links.

Thank you in advance for you help

Hello Brian!
The HTML helper is here to rescue you!
put the following html code in:
<form method=post action=http://www.cgi-free.com/menu.cgi>
<SELECT name=URLLink><BR>
<OPTION value="address_here">Title</OPTION>
</select>
<input type=submit value="Submit(you can change that if you want to)">
</form>

To put more than one just repeat the <OPTION value=""> procedure.

Check out my site at www.unimedia.co.uk
Here you'll see Javascript as an auto-direct to a pull down menu
Hope this helps

I don't know about cgi-free's menu.cgi, but if what you're looking for
is something to handle your select form ("pull-down menu") you can get
mine at ftp.artsackett.com/pub/away.cgi

It's a simple little dude -- all you do is feed it a URL from your
page, and it sends the browser to it.

The HTML is just what you'd expect:

<form method="post" action="cgi-bin/away.cgi">
<select name="LOCATION">
<option value="http://www.artsackett.com">Where I got this perl script
<option value=.... (as many of these as you need)
</option></select><input type="submit" value="Go">
</form>

Assuming that you can run CGI on your server, all it takes is to upload
away.cgi into the right place and set the permissions to 555. Just make
sure to upload it in ASCII mode.

Hope it's something like what you're looking for.

There is a ready-to-use script on www.netkontoret.dk/jsdropdown.htm

The site also explains the JavaScript used to produce the menu.
