drop-down list, can I place these tags inside eachother Options

[htm novice]

Can I create a dropdown list, in which the options are acronyms or are anchored to another spot on the same page, if so could i do all 3?

No. The only content an option element allows is plain text.

But acronyms are plain text.

You can't with HTML, but you can with scripting.

You do mean the form thingie, don't you? And not something like this?

Do you perhaps mean using forms for pull-down navigation menus to a named anchor?

This might be possible with javascript, though it's not recommended. I don't think you can use the form directly for navigation in this case, since that would produce a query string for each OPTION value ("?foo=bar" rather than a "#foo").

Huh?

Perhaps, but <acronym>TLA</acronym> is an inline element, and isn't allowed inside an option element.

Shrewd! Didn't think of that possibility.
