link from a dropdown - A quick FrontPage tutorial.
Below is an example - try it!
Drop down box's are great for navigation and FrontPage comes with one already built in.
First insert a dropdown box. Insert/form/drop down box and then follow on as below. (Frontpage wil almost certainly add a submit and reset button! Just delete them)
Alternatively in FP2003 you can just place the cursor where you want it and then select jump menu from the behaviors tab. FrontPage will insert the drop down box for you.
This is the code for FP2003 - Below is the way for frontpage
2000, 2002 and most likely 98.
1. Select the drop-down box.
2. Choose Behaviours from the Format menu.
3. Click the Insert button in the Behaviours task pane, then choose
Jump Menu.
4. Use the resulting Jump Menu dialog box to configure the drop-down
Menu names (Choice) and Value (the location of the page) you want.
For example a link reading About Us would most likely link to a file
called aboutus.htm) See graphic below.
