Hello all,

my client has about 25 zipped pdf files that are date ordered and they want the user to select from the drop down list a date, (I've only shown three) then the appropriate file will be opened or downloaded.. shown is what I have so far - however I'm sure there is something I've left out - [naturally] - I'm no java guy by any means ;-(

So, any help would be appreciated

Code: 
<form name="pdfs" method="post" action="">
<select name="select" class="BodyText">
<option value="../pdfs/001.zip">Fall/Winter 2003</option>
<option value="../pdfs/002.zip">February 2003</option>
<option value="../pdfs/003.zip">September 2003</option>
</select>
</form>

Instaed of a normal forms dropdown, create a jump menu that links to the zip files. DW will then generate the correct code.

Cheech's advice didn't work?
create = insert

what is the problem....ok ok Cheech is from GB ...that might be it!LOL

Insert--->Form Objects--->Jump Menu

it is that easy!
here is the code it spits out:
Code: 
<html>
<head>
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/JavaScript">
<!--
function MM_jumpMenu(targ,selObj,restore){ //v3.0
  eval(targ+".location='"+selObj.options[selObj.selectedIndex].value+"'");
  if (restore) selObj.selectedIndex=0;
}

function MM_findObj(n, d) { //v4.01
  var p,i,x;  if(!d) d=document; if((p=n.indexOf("?"))>0&&parent.frames.length) {
    d=parent.frames[n.substring(p+1)].document; n=n.substring(0,p);}
  if(!(x=d[n])&&d.all) x=d.all[n]; for (i=0;!x&&i<d.forms.length;i++) x=d.forms[i][n];
  for(i=0;!x&&d.layers&&i<d.layers.length;i++) x=MM_findObj(n,d.layers[i].document);
  if(!x && d.getElementById) x=d.getElementById(n); return x;
}

function MM_jumpMenuGo(selName,targ,restore){ //v3.0
  var selObj = MM_findObj(selName); if (selObj) MM_jumpMenu(targ,selObj,restore);
}
//-->
</script>
</head>

<body>
<form name="form1">
  <select name="menu1" onChange="MM_jumpMenu('parent',this,0)">
    <option value="file1.zip" selected>file 1</option>
    <option value="file2.zip">file 2</option>
  </select>
  <input name="DL_button" type="button" id="DL_button" onClick="MM_jumpMenuGo('menu1','parent',0)" value="Download &gt;">
</form>
<p>&nbsp;</p></body>
</html>

of course u can choose NOT to have the "download" button but rather direct/onChange of list download....
All the best!
