Hi There,





 i got a dynamic drop down menu, now when the user select an option it

should open a url.

The path of url is stored in the data base ('hyperlink')



How do i go about it 



Thanks in advance :-)



Regards



Kashif

That's a javascript client-side question...not an ASP/Database question.



The value="" of the option should have the URL that you wish to navigate to.

Use the onChange event to set the .location property of the window to the

value of the selected option in the select box.



Cheers

Ken

try the option value= the field from the database, see the code below

<FORM action=dropdown.asp method=post>

        <SELECT id=select1 name=link style="HEIGHT: 22px; WIDTH: 171px"> 

			<OPTION selected value="">--Choose A Destination--

</OPTION>

			<OPTION value=http://www.yahoo.com>Yahoo</OPTION>

			<OPTION value=http://www.webhostme.com>Free ASP 

Hosting</OPTION>

			<OPTION value=http://www.asptown.com>ASP 

Town</OPTION>

		</SELECT>

	<INPUT id=submit1 name=submit1 type=submit value=GO!></P>
