A jump menu is a pop-up menu of options that link to a document or file. You can create links to documents in your Web site, links to documents on other Web sites, e-mail links, links to graphics, or links to any file type that can be opened in a browser.
There are three basic components a jump menu can contain:
|
A menu selection prompt, such as a category description for the menu items, or instructions, such as "Choose one:". |
|
A list of linked menu items: a user clicks an option and a linked document or file opens. |
|
A Go button. |
Once a jump menu item has been selected, there is no way to reselect the item if you navigate back to that page, or if the Open URL In field specifies a frame. There are two ways to work around this problem:
|
Use a menu selection prompt, such as a category, or a user instruction, such as "Choose one:". A menu selection prompt is reselected after each menu selection. |
|
Use a Go button, which allows a user to revisit the currently selected link. |
