hello helpful gurus
i have made a form with dropdown menu options. i want to be able to click on these to a link.
how can i link them to other pages/websites without a button. i've tried using a href.
thankyou in advance.

trust your vision
 
Is it a drop down menu from JS or Fireworks, or is it more like a list/menu? If the latter, perhaps try a jump menu without a "go" button.
 
it must be a 'jump' menu
<select name=&quot;select&quot;>
<option>aardvark</option>
<option>butterfly</option>
<option>cockatoo</option>
<option>dingo</option>
<option>elephant</option>
<option>fish</option>
<option>goanna</option>
<option>hippopotomus</option>
</select>
how can i link butterfly to butterfly.html please?

 
<select name=&quot;select&quot; onChange=&quot;MM_jumpMenu('parent',this,0)&quot;>
<option value=&quot;butterfly.html&quot; selected>butterfly</option>

This should bring the butterfly into te parent window.

When you use the Insert>Form Objects.Jump Menu, you can easily set this up without the hand-coding - you'll have an option for adding a go button (in case someone lets off the mouse on the wrong selection).

Also, see the macromedia dreamweaver support for &quot;go&quot; button options, if you decide to use.

Hope this helps.
