[thelist] Simple navigation Menu form question

[Jon Haworth]

It looks OK to me (until someone turns up in Lynx or IE 6 with Javascript
turned off, which conveniently happen to be the two browers I use all the
time :-)

Have you not got access to $SERVER_SIDE_LANGUAGE? This is so easy with PHP
it's untrue, and it works with everything.

Cheers
Jon

Subject: [thelist] Simple navigation Menu form question


I'm trying to create a simple pull-down menu with navigation links. So far,
the
method below is the simplest that I've found. Aside from the fact that it
won't
validate (<form> is missing an ACTION), are there any flaws in it? Are there
good reasons NOT to do this? My initial tests show it working in IE 5 and
Netscape 4, Mac and IE 4 and Netscape 4, PC.

<form>
    <select name="list">
        <option selected value="#">JumpTo...</option>
        <option value="http://www.url1.com">Link1</option>
        <option value="http://www.url2.com">Link2</option>
        <option value="http://www.url3.com">Link3</option>
    </select>   
    <input type="button" name="JumpTo" value="GO"
onclick="top.location.href=this.form.list.options[this.form.list.selectedInd
ex].value">
</form>
