<font face='Arial'>i have what i think is an easy question, if someone could help me out real quick-

i want to make jump menus (the same ones most sites would use for, say, selecting the month of your birthday) and i want to make it so that a user can choose an option, and then click go and it will take them to the appropriate page. they arent sending ME anything, like in a poll, i'm sending THEM somewhere. i'm using it as a site map sort of, a 'jump to' any page thing.

any help is much, much appreciated. my site is so close to being done and this is all i really need!

oh, and one more thing... on intermedia.net, they have some different hosting options, two of which are Windows and ASP.NET... my site is entirely in HTML, which should i select, and if its a matter of preference, whats the differences between the two?

thanks again!</font id='Arial'>

mmmm, Jump Menu's are navigation based and don't send any information other than to redirect to a different url.
Using a <b>"Select"</b> tag in a form lets the user send something.

This is a built in feature of DW and UD etc.. and it basically does 99% of the work for you.

Goto Insert &gt; Form &gt; Jump-Menu

If it asks if you want to add a form tag say "yes"

Then all you have to do is fill in the blanks

<b>EXAMPLE:</b>
TEXT SHOWN | VALUE | TARGET
Homepage | home.html |(leave blank to open in same window)
My Pics | pics.html |
Etc.....

If this isn't what you were after, then explain a little more <img src=../images/dmxzone/forum/icon_smile.gif border=0 align=middle>

And in response to your second question, if you are staying with pure HTML sites, and maybe a little flash and Javascript etc... then stick with the cheapest option as you wont need half of the things they offer you in .NET hosting.

i have one more question that i need answered, now that my site is online. how do i

A- make the links in the jump menu open in the the Main Frame only (i know how to do this when its not a link in a menu, because its right there on the properties bar)

B- make links in the jump menu open in a new window. can you assign behaviors to list items?

To open in the main frame set the target to "_mainFrame"

To open in a new window set the target to "_blank"
