Forms: Create Menu Boxes

	A drop-down menu allows a user to tab through a drop-down list to make a selection from a number of choices.
Example	What is your area code?
	To add a drop-down menu to your web page using FrontPage 2000, you can choose Insert, Form, Drop-Down Menu from the main menu.

	To specify the properties of the drop-down menu, highlight it. Choose Edit, Form Field Properties from the main menu or right click on the drop-down menu itself. The Drop-Down Menu Properties dialog box will appear.

	In the Name text box, specify a name that describes the list being provided in the menu box. (In the example above, the name might be areacode.) Set the Tab order. The tab order is the order in which users of your form will move through the form by clicking on the Tab key. Select the Add button to the right. The Add Choice dialog box appears

	Put the first choice in your drop-down menu in the Choice text box. (In our example above, the choice would be 703.) FrontPage 2000 will automatically use your choice as the value it sends through the form handler. If you wish to specify a different value, (for example a shorter or longer term) check Specify Value and type in your value. Click on OK.	Example: I might want the data I collect from this form to specify a location rather than an area code. In this case I would specify the value for 703 as Northern Virginia.
	Repeat the process until you have completed the choices in your menu box. Choose Initial State: Selected for the value you want to initially appear in the menu box. Note that once you have entered all the values you want to appear in your drop-down menu, you can use the Modify, Remove, Move Up, and Move Down buttons to edit. delete, or rearrange the order of your choices. When you have finished specifying choices for the drop-down menu, click on OK.
