Hi Stuart,

without testing the code it is probably due to using a <form> tag - this have a nasty habit of breaking the existing templates

[NormanRouxel]

Yep. That's probably it. Most Actinic pages have a FORM (or two, or more) on them.

Have a look at your generated HTML and see if you've got nested forms, which are illegal HTML. You'll have to move your form outside of any Actinic ones, or, alternatively if it must reside within an Actinic form, recode it without the <form> tags. Perhaps something like

<select name="menu1" onChange="this.options[this.selectedIndex].value;" value="GO">

will do.

[Stuart J Sykes]

Thanks....I'll try that

[Stuart J Sykes]

NO.....The form tag does needs to be there for it to work....Thanks for trying

Ive created the menu in Flash MX and embeded it (which also had its problems) but now works fine.

[NormanRouxel]

Ooops. It should have been

<select name="menu1" onChange="location=this.options[this.selectedIndex].value;" value="GO">

and repeat for Menu2, 3, etc. This works just fine when placed inside an existing Actinic <form>. I tested by simply adding it to a product description (within !!< and >!!).

[jont]

With Flash and Fireworks HTML scripts I find it is best to copy the code into a blank page and then copy the code into the Actinic template - if you import it straight in the new Javascript's in the <head> can merge with the existing Actinic scripts and give an error
