In the Form Field properties box I have entered the "target Pages" under
values, but the links do not work. Why?

Unfortunately, the drop-down menu doesn't know anything about hyperlinks or
navigating. A drop down in itself is not a menu, it is simply a dropdown
list of name/value pairs. You need something else to turn it into a menu.
These are often called jump menus because they let users jump to a specified
selection.
You'll need to get a JavaScript to do this and call it through the onchange
event of your dropdown box, though you may also want to have a go button
handy for users who have a browser too old for the onchange event to work.
Here's a handy one at:
http://javascript.internet.com/navigation/jump-menu.html There are also
other scripts available at javascript.internet.com and www.dynamicdrive.com
Hope this helps,

This works for a drop down menu:
<form>
<select onChange="if(options[selectedIndex].value)
window.location.href=(options[selectedIndex].value)">
<option>Select a search engine...
<option value="http://www.yahoo.com">Yahoo
<option value="http://www.google.com">Google
<option value="http://www.lycos.com">Lycos
</select>
</form>
<form>
<select onChange="if(options[selectedIndex].value)
window.location.href=(options[selectedIndex].value)">
<option>Select a search engine...
<option value="http://www.yahoo.com">Yahoo
<option value="http://www.google.com">Google
<option value="http://www.lycos.com">Lycos
</select>
</form>

Dan L,
I have read this thread and used it on my website.
A small question :
Should there be closing option tags i.e. </option> or is this
redundant/optional ?
Anyway, my actual question is this.
How can I
1. Reduce the width of the text boxes with the option text in them
and
2. Get a line break in these text boxes. I have tried <br> and
and
both are just ignored.
I ask because I placed this form in a sidebar menu frame (changing
window.location to top.location) and due to its width, it causes a
horizontal scrollbar to appear and the down arrow is only visible in the
frame when one scrolls sideways.

Yes, it should have the closing tag for each line item.

I'm pretty sure there's no need for the </option>.
As for width of the drop down boxes, that's driven by the amount of text you
put into any one box - if one is wide, they'll all be that wide.
Sorry, I can't answer the <br> question. You might open a new thread and
ask "the pros" (then we'll both know
