Dropdown Menu Maker Tool

(not for use with Frame Sets, see custom Frame Set menu here)

Use this tool to make your own dropdown menus like the one shown below. Follow the 3 easy steps to generate the HTML code needed for the menu. When finished, insert the code on your webpage using the
HTML Object Tool.


Example Dropdown Menu  (disabled)


STEP 1 - Select your GO button options

Load page immediately on selection from menu (no button)

Use button

Use an image for GO button, enter your image name:


Tip: Use a small .GIF or .JPG image 20x20 or smaller


STEP 2 - Enter your pulldown menu entries

Text Shown in Menu Webpage Address



Tip: If the pages in your menu are on your website you may use a relative Webpage Address in the boxes above. Just type page-name.html in the box. If the page is not on your website you must use http:// (the full URL as shown in the address bar of a web browser.)
STEP 3 - Source Code
Copy the source code below. Paste into HTML Object Properties Window.



More than one menu on page?

To use more than one dropdown menu on a single page requires that you edit some parts of the code in the additional menus. Each additional dropdown menu requires a unique form name and select name.

What to change:
form name="jump"   to   form name="jump2"
select name="menu"   to   select name="menu2"
document.jump.menu.options   to   document.jump2.menu2.options
document.jump.menu.selectedIndex   to   document.jump2.menu2.selectedIndex

A third dropdown menu would require the use of jump3 and menu3 and so on for a fourth menu.


Important: If you used an image as a GO Button do not forget to use the BROWSE BUTTON on the HTML Object Properties Window. It is very important to correctly size your HTML Object. Click Here to learn the proper use of that tool.
