Curious, trying to find some "quick and easy" code to make a drop down menu
system for my website.  Using my own graphics for the main tool bar of
course.

Thanks.

       If you mean site map?

 <form onsubmit="return false">
   <select
onchange="top.location=this.options[this.selectedIndex].value">
       <option value="PAGE1.html"> THIS IS MY PAGE ONE </option>
       <option value="PAGE2.html"> THIS IS MY PAGE TWO </option>
       <option value="PAGE3.html"> THIS IS MY PAGE THREE </option>
       <option value="PAGE4.html"> THIS IS MY PAGE FOUR </option>
       <option value="PAGE5.html"> THIS IS MY PAGE FIVE </option>
       ...
       </select>
       
      </form>

Users without client-side script support will not be able to navigate, and
as I said it also does not fulfill the OP's requirement of "using [...] own
graphics for the main tool bar".

An ill-considered remark.

The provision of scripted drop-down navigation in no way precludes the
provision of navigation by ordinary links.

Definitely not.  People suggesting and/or using this are often not aware
that such a `select' element is useless to those users.

Of course it does not.  I was merely referring to the `select' element's
event handler.

It's a pity that you can write English better than you can read it.

If you consider your remark intelligently, you will see that it
expresses a valid thought in an inaccurate manner.  Granted that those
without script enabled will not be able to navigate by the script-
energised control; but that does not mean that they will not be able to
navigate if other means are provided.

That may have been your intention; it was not what you achieved.  You
were, as is your custom, over-dogmatic.

You expect others to pay attention to what you write; you really should
do the same yourself before you expose it to the public gaze.

Your attributions still do not comply with recent thinking by Usenet
experts; it is inappropriate to apply ancient German-newsgroup rulings
here.

Your articles lack a validly-separated signature.

That is quick and _dirty_ and does not allow for "own graphics for the main
tool bar".

Try some of these:
