I have about 36 entries in the box. I use FrontPage 2003. Any help will be greatly appreciated!!! Thanks.

"<option selected="selected">Select Page</option>" "<option value="index.html">Home Page</option>" The first line (without the quotes) is directly under the code for the menu then just put as many lines (without the quotes) of the "option value" as needed changing the page name and hyperlink text to suit. Hope this helps. -------------------- Custom Desktop,Intel Core2 Duo, GeForce 8400 Graphics,Vista Home, 2Gb ram, 160Gb & 250Gb Sata HDDs, Dual Monitors, Belkin keyboard and mouse, Avast Free, Compaq Laptop, Firefox browser, Thunderbird email, Epson Stylus CX3100 Printer/Scanner,Speedtouch Modem,Netgear Router, ADSL Broadband, Fuji Digital Camera.

It often takes me several passes to get through one of those wickets. There are a couple of ways to do what you want. There are a number of options here but maybe the simple horizontal will work. Note that not all drop down. Another way to do it uses Javascript. I assume you can insert that with FrontPage. It might be nice to break that pile of 36 into smaller groups. Companies often do that where there is a broad product line. The "menu" is collapsed until you hit the "+" for the group you want to see. Be kind to your visitors.
