Hello, I canīt figure out how to make a link between a scrolling list with a submit button and a target-page. Advice please. If you donīt know what I mean please look at my site.

Klick on the link to "trees, a guide" in left hand menu. There is a scroll list with several choices, but how do I link each scrolled choice to each page?:( I use Adobe Pagemill 3,0.

Thanks in advance:D

I have quite a few such drop-down menu lists on my various webpages.

You have a very good start but you can't make it work with just html. You need to write a program in javascript (not java which is an entirely differnt thing) to do it. (You could do it in java, but javascript is far easier.)

Here's a simple page (http://members.aol.com/jonagrm/c1/acc.htm) that has one. Look at the source and you'll see the javascript program in the head and also and "onchage="cd()" call to the program from within the option list.

You could pretty much cut and paste something like this, changing the function name and the variable names to suit you. Also, you will need to name your form as well as the option list.

W3Javascript school (http://www.w3schools.com/js/default.asp) has a good introduction.

It seems complicated but it's pretty simple to just cut and paste it. I can send you a PM and be more specific if you want.

It's not supposed to work that well. Your page looks good although mostly I was looking at your bike. I couldn't even read you philosophy page. ;)
