Hi, I am wondering if anyone can help me with this. I currently have my web site set up using framesets with the target attribute so that when a user clicks a button on the left hand side, the corresponding file opens on the right side as it should.
However, I am trying to redesign my site so that instead of using buttons, the user will see the dropdown list instead. The problem is that I do not know how to do this.
My site is www.anthonysaulnier.com
Below I have pasted samples of code. You will see the files that I am trying to have open in the right side of the screen.
I created a backup file and thats what I am working on for testing purposes. The stuff that you see in between the body tags is what is currently on my main site now.

I am open to trying HTML, Perl, or CGI.
If anyone could give me any ideas, it would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
See this FAQ entry: http://htmlhelp.com/faq/html/forms.html#form-navmenu.
Hi guys, thanks for the input. Yeah it looks like it is going to be difficult to do. java script might be an option, but as one of the articles suggests, the client may not have the java component installed. I am going to try a few things in perl/cgi since I can make the pages dynamic. Anyway, its been a while since I have touched Perl/CGI, it will be a good refresher.
I will keep you posted.
Hi guys, so I tried Perl/CGI. It worked great. I guess I will start leaning more on them.
Yeah you are right Darin, of course I gotta get tuned up on them though.
Anyway, thanks again guys.
Cheers,
Anthony
