I've tried onChange section and I couldn't make
alert window gone. It would be nice to make it
so reader can quit that window and go one to next section without end the task and start up again.

This was junk - it told me nothing about how it worked - all this crap and no explanations. Waste of my time

I tried "Accessing the selected option" example under Dropdown menus. But there's one problem. The URL's that needs to be displayed upon selecting the option from the dropdown has been give in the value parameter of option tag. But it doesn't go to the URL when submit button is clicked. Nothing happens. Can you advise why?? This is what is happening in Netscape.

In IE it gives an error msg "Object Required" (onclick attribute of form tag) when I try to submit the form.
Pls advise. Your help in this regard will be highly appreciated.
Thanks

This article is great.....that is, up until the point where you introduce these lines of code:

var Current = document.formName.selectName.selectedIndex;
var currentText = document.formName.selectName.options[Current].text;
var currentValue = document.formName.selectName.options[Current].value;

There is no explaination as to what these codes mean or how to use and change them for your own purposes. Otherwise a very informative and helpful article.

Dear Sir,
Hi, After going through your pages, I found out this information is not sufficent for me. Infact I was looking for 'Drop down menus ' like one you get in VB or VC or windows.
My question is 'Is it possible to create such menus ?' Please send me mail regarding that.

Yours faithfully
Sachin
