How to Create a
Pull-Down Menu


So, you want to know how to build one of those "neat" pull down menus, huh?
Well, just follow the instructions below and soon you'll have your own pull down menu.
Why would you want a pull down menu? The best reason I can think of is loading facility. A pull down menu makes your email and/or pages load much more quickly.

(This is a "cgi-free" script.)

When you use the coding below, remember to replace the parentheses with greater than and less than symbols. Also, pay careful attention to usage of upper and lower case letters.

Here's the coding:

(form method=post action=http://www.cgi-free.com/menu.cgi)(SELECT name=URLLink)(OPTION selected=selected value="")Select a Destination(/OPTION)(OPTION value=http://enter the url of the site you wish to take your viewer to)Name of site(/OPTION)(/SELECT)(input type=submit value="Take Me There!"(/form)

In the above coding, where it says, Select a Destination, this is where you will enter whatever phrase you choose to let your viewer select a site.
Where it says, enter the url of the site you wish to take your viewer to, this is where you will enter the actual URL of the site.
Where it says, Name of site, this is where you will enter whatever name you wish for the name of the site.
Where it says "Take Me There!", this is where you will enter whatever word or phrase you choose as a transport word. Notice that this phrase is the only one enclosed in quotation marks.
Observe the sparse use of quotation marks in this coding.

OK...I've showed you how to enter only one destination URL...you may add as many as you like. Each new one will be added between the (/OPTION) and the (/SELECT) codes towards the end of the code string.
